Apple aligns with Google in opposition to European Union proposals that would require Android to be opened up to rival artificial intelligence services. Across reports, Apple and Google argue that forced interoperability—allowing other AI providers to access or integrate with Android systems—could increase risks to users’ privacy, security, and overall device safety. The outlets describe Apple’s stance as a warning that the EU’s Digital Markets Act–related approach may be rushed and could create practical challenges for protecting sensitive data and maintaining safe device behavior. One report notes that the companies’ shared position also reflects broader concerns about regulatory precedent. While the EU’s aim is to foster competition and interoperability in AI services, Apple’s criticism centers on potential unintended consequences for end users, including greater exposure to privacy and cyber-security threats. The reports also frame Apple’s support for Google as notable, given Apple’s different ecosystem from Android and its own regulatory and technology interests in Europe. No source indicates agreement on alternative regulatory wording; instead, they present a common opposition to the EU’s current interoperability direction.
