EU Tells Google to Expand Android AI Access
MacRumors reported that the European Commission has told Google to give rival AI services the same access to Android features that Gemini gets. The outlet said the DMA rules are also part of why Apple's Siri AI won't arrive in the EU with iOS 27.
According to MacRumors, Google now has a year to adjust Android so third-party AI apps can tap into more device functions. The report frames the move as another major DMA test for large platform owners, including Apple.
If the EU follows through, Android AI tools in Europe could become more capable and more competitive with Gemini. It also signals that Apple may face similar regulatory pressure as it works on AI features for the EU.
The provided text is a MacRumors report written from reporter-level sourcing, so this is a strong but still attributed editorial summary rather than official company confirmation.
