The European Commission launched two formal proceedings against Google. The goal is ensuring compliance with the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
The first proceeding requires Google to provide rival AI services with effective interoperability. This includes access to Android's hardware and software features, specifically those used by Google’s Gemini AI. This action aims to create a level playing field for AI competition on mobile devices.
The second proceeding addresses Google’s obligation to grant third-party online search engines access to specific data. This data includes anonymized ranking, query, click, and view data. Access must be provided on fair and non-discriminatory terms.
These actions are part of a broader regulatory dialogue addressing compliance issues. Non-compliance could lead to significant fines. The proceedings reinforce the EU's efforts to curb the market power of major tech gatekeepers.
