Apple Joins Google in Pushback Against EU Android AI Access Rules
EU regulators are debating Digital Markets Act rules that would force Android to grant external AI services the same access as Google’s, including anonymized data, to boost competition. Apple has publicly backed Google’s criticisms, warning that opening Android to rivals could threaten user privacy, security, and device integrity and could raise costs as AI tech evolves. Google argues the measures risk privacy and are premature, and Apple notes the commission’s short review window; the stance also comes as Apple faces its own DMA scrutiny over app-store practices.
