Google Must Give Gemini Rivals Equal Access to Android System, EU Says

European regulators have ordered Google to provide competing AI assistants and search engines with greater access to its Android operating system and search data. This mandate aims to curb the company’s control over key digital infrastructure by enforcing compliance with the bloc's antitrust rules. By requiring Google to open its ecosystem to external developers, the decision seeks to foster market competition and reduce the company's dominance in search and mobile software.
