EU Pressures Google Over AI Access on Android, Search Data Under Digital Markets Act
- •The EU Commission has initiated two specification proceedings against Google under the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
- •The first proceeding focuses on Android, demanding Google clarify how third-party AI providers can access Android features at the same level as Google's own services like Gemini.
- •The second proceeding targets Google Search, seeking clarity on how competing search engines can access anonymized ranking, query, click, and view data.
- •The EU aims to prevent Google from leveraging its platform control to favor its in-house AI tools and ensure a competitive landscape.
- •Google argues it already meets DMA requirements, citing open Android design and data licensing, but warns of unintended consequences from further obligations.
Why It Matters: The EU is intensifying scrutiny on Google's AI access and data sharing practices to ensure fair competition.
