The European Union says Google must change how it integrates artificial intelligence rivals into Android and related services. According to multiple reports, the EU directive requires Google to provide competing AI providers—specifically those offering services that can compete with Google’s Gemini—to access certain Android system functions on terms that are considered “equal” to Google’s own offerings. The EU also calls for Google to share relevant search data with competing online search engine providers. The move is framed as part of the bloc’s efforts to ensure fair access and competition in markets where Google’s platforms are widely used. Google is expected to need to re-engineer parts of its services to comply with the EU requirements, including technical adjustments to how Android features are made available to third parties and how data related to search is handled. The reports do not indicate the exact technical scope of the required changes or the compliance deadline, but they agree that the EU action targets Android access for AI competitors and data sharing for search rivals.
