EU Commission provides guidance to Google (GOOGL) for AI interoperability on Android and sharing of Google Search data under the Digital Markets Act
Newsquawk Staff ·
- Currently, on Android phones, competitors' AI assistants only have restricted access to key functionalities of the Google Android operating system. Without this access, alternative AI assistants are not competing on an equal footing with Google's own AI services that have full access. Third-party AI assistants are therefore limited in how they can offer their innovative services, making them less attractive to 60% of EU users who have an Android device.
- Specification decisions are legally binding. Google is required to implement the specified measures under the conditions and timelines included in the decisions. Google must start sharing search data with eligible search engine providers from January 2027. Users will start benefitting from the changes to Android as of July 2027.
