EU orders Google to share search data and open Android to rival AI under new rules

Channel News Asia—The European Union ordered Google to share its search data with competing companies and open Android to rival AI services under the Digital Markets Act. The ruling forces Google to give competitors more access on Android smartphones, extending the EU's crackdown on Big Tech gatekeepers directly into the AI sector. Regulators are pushing to prevent Google from using its dominant platforms to entrench its own AI products at the expense of alternatives.
