EU officially orders Google to share search data and open Android AI access

The European Union has formally mandated that Google share its search data with rival companies and open up artificial intelligence features on the Android platform. The decision is part of the EU's broader effort to promote competition and reduce Google's dominance in the digital market. Google has pushed back against the ruling, arguing that the requirements could put user privacy and security at risk. The move marks a significant regulatory step under the EU's competition enforcement framework, which has increasingly targeted major tech platforms. The changes are expected to reshape how competing services access and leverage Google's search infrastructure and AI tools within Europe.
