EU Demands Google Give AI Rivals More Access to Android The European Union has decided that Google must open up more parts of its Android operating system to rival AI apps.
This move is a significant departure from the traditional hands off approach of regulators, who have long been hesitant to intervene in the intricacies of the tech market.
At issue is access: the EU wants to give rival AI assistants a fair shot at competing with Google's Gemini by allowing them to access key functionalities within Android.
