🔔 EU Demands Google Open Android AI Features and Search Data Huoxing Finance reports that on July 16, the European Commission issued two binding technical measures under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), requiring Google to grant third-party AI assistants access to key Android system functions and to share anonymized search data with third-party search engines, to promote competition in AI and search markets. Under the requirements, Google must allow third-party AI assistants to access critical Android system functions, enabling capabilities such as voice wake-up and cross-app task execution, on par with Gemini. Additionally, Google must provide anonymized search data to qualified search engines and AI chatbots with search functionality, and establish transparent mechanisms for data access and pricing. According to the timeline, Google must begin sharing search data starting January 2027, and the Android interoperability features will be made available to users starting July 2027.
