It's official: EU will force Google to share search data and open up AI on Android
摘要
欧盟依据《数字市场法案》（DMA）对谷歌出台新规，要求其在安卓系统和搜索业务中支持互操作性与竞争。安卓方面，谷歌需向第三方AI平台开放系统权限，打破Gemini的独占地位；搜索方面，需共享数据以促进竞争。谷歌对此表示不满，认为此举将损害隐私与安全，但作为DMA指定的“守门人”，必须遵守具有法律约束力的措施。
Europe wasted no time using its landmark Digital Markets Act (DMA) to try and rein in Big Tech. Companies like Apple, Meta, and Google have faced steep fines and orders to modify their business practices since the law came into force in 2024. And the hits keep on coming for Big Tech in Europe. After several months of consideration, the European Commission has announced new DMA measures that will force Google to support interoperability and competition in the European Union, and Google is not happy about it.
The new "specification measures" cover two elements of Google's business: Android phones and search. Both changes could theoretically increase competition and give users more choices, but Google claims they will undermine privacy and security. But as a "gatekeeper" under the DMA, Google has no choice but to comply. As the European Commission points out in its announcement, these decisions are legally binding.
On Android, Google will have to open up access to competing AI platforms. Currently, Google's Gemini gets preferential access to the system. Gemini is preloaded on all Google-certified Android phones and can wake up in response to the "Hey Google" hot word. Google's AI also includes system and app automation features, screen content access, and more.
