EU Orders Google to Open Android to Rival AI Assistants

The European Union has told Google to make its Android operating system more open.

This means other companies can create AI assistants that work on Android phones just like Google's own assistant.

Google also has to share some of its search data with other companies.

This is to help other companies compete with Google, which has been very successful in search and AI.

Google says this could be risky for users' privacy and security, but the EU thinks it's important for fair competition.

This decision is part of a bigger trend where different countries are trying to regulate AI in different ways.
