EU Demands Google Share AI Services, Data with Rivals Under Digital Markets Act
- •The EU is initiating "specification proceedings" to ensure Google provides rival AI companies and search engines access to its Gemini AI services and data.
- •This move falls under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which requires Big Tech to offer smaller players equal access to hardware and software features.
- •Brussels will specify how Google must provide third-party AI companies with "equally effective access to the same features" available through its own services.
- •The EU will also investigate if Google offers fair access to Google Search data for competing search engines, including AI chatbot providers.
- •Google's Clare Kelly expressed concern, stating that further rules driven by competitor grievances could compromise user privacy, security, and innovation.
Why It Matters: The EU is compelling Google to open its AI services and data to rivals, aiming for a fair digital market.
