Google challenges EU orders to open up to AI and search-engine rivals
Alphabet's Google challenged two EU orders requiring it to help AI developers access services available to Gemini and give search rivals access to search data, citing privacy and security concerns. The changes are due to take effect next year.
1. Google files court challenges
Google filed challenges on Monday with the EU's General Court against orders requiring it to help AI developers use services available to its Gemini model and give search competitors access to its search data. EU antitrust regulators issued the orders in July under the Digital Markets Act, with the changes due to take effect next year.
2. Privacy and security dispute
Google said sharing search histories without sufficient anonymisation could harm user privacy and weaken Android security protections. The European Commission said the measures include robust safeguards for users' privacy, device integrity and security. DuckDuckGo backed the EU watchdog, saying the anonymisation framework is robust.
