EU DMA Forces Google to Open Android AI and Share Search Data
The European Commission's Digital Markets Act will require Google to open Android to competing AI platforms and share search data with rival search providers, aiming to boost competition and give users more choice. Google argues the changes threaten privacy and security, while regulators say anonymization and safeguards will be preserved. The rules are legally binding, with data-sharing to begin January 2027 and Android updates for deeper AI integration due by July 2027.
