US EditionEU steps in to make sure Google gives rivals access to AI services and data
The European Commission requires Google to provide equal access to AI features and anonymized search data to competitors under the Digital Markets Act within six months.
- On Tuesday, the European Commission said it is opening specification proceedings under the Digital Markets Act to ensure Google gives rivals access to Gemini AI services and data within six months.

- The specification proceedings will specify how Google must give third-party AI companies equally effective access to features and consider AI chatbot providers' eligibility, while Brussels aims to help Google comply with the DMA and expects rivals to offer genuine alternatives to Google Search.
- If Google’s responses fall short, Brussels can conclude non-compliance and impose measures, with DMA violations leading to fines of up to 10 percent of global turnover.
- Amid pushback from Google and U.S. officials, Teresa Ribera said, `We want to help Google by explaining in more detail how it should comply with its interoperability and online search data sharing obligations under the Digital Markets Act`.
