European Commission: 'Guidance to Google for AI Interoperability'
European Commission: ‘Guidance to Google for AI Interoperability on Android & Sharing of Google Search’ Tuesday, 21 July 2026 The European Commission, last week: Today, the European Commission has issued two sets of binding specification measures to Google under the Digital Markets Act. The aim of the first specification measures is to ensure that competitors’ Artificial Intelligence (AI) services can compete with Google’s own AI services, such as Gemini, by having equal access to features on Google’s Android devices. The aim of the second specification measures is to rebalance the playing field by giving third-party search engines access to search data that only Google Search can collect at scale.
