Google asks EU court to suspend order to open up to AI chatbots, search engine rivals
Google has asked the EU’s General Court to suspend an order requiring it to share search data with AI chatbots and rival search engines, citing risks to user privacy and security.
1. Google seeks suspension
Google applied for an interim measure at the EU’s General Court after taking the European Commission to court over its order to share search data. The Commission issued the order in July to help rivals, particularly AI chatbots, compete with Google Search.
2. Privacy concerns
Google said the measure risks serious harm to the privacy of European users and could undermine privacy and security protections. The Commission said its decisions account for integrity and security features and the protection of end users’ personal data.
