Google Challenges EU Orders on Data Sharing and AI Access
Google is taking two European Union orders to court that would require the technology giant to give artificial-intelligence developers and rival search providers greater access to its services and data.
The measures stem from the bloc's Digital Markets Act, or DMA, and are scheduled to take effect in 2027. EU antitrust regulators ordered Google in July to make services available through its Gemini artificial-intelligence system more accessible to competing AI developers and to provide eligible search-engine rivals with certain search data.
Google argues that the measures go too far and could expose sensitive information about users while weakening security protections. 'We'd love to be your preferred source for news,' a Google spokesperson is quoted as saying, but not in context. The company's senior director of competition, Oliver Bethell, said search queries can contain deeply personal information.
