Apple Backs Google After EU Orders Android Be Opened Up To AI Rivals

Apple backed Google's push against EU draft rules that would make Android open the same access to rival AI assistants as Gemini.

Both companies argued the Digital Markets Act measures could weaken privacy, security, and device integrity.

The European Commission's proposal could reshape how much access competing AI services get on mobile devices in Europe.

Apple also has its own DMA concerns as it remains under EU regulatory scrutiny.
