AI rivals

The EU has directed Google to share its search data and make the Android platform accessible to competitors in the AI sector. This regulatory action aims to foster competition in artificial intelligence by opening Android to rival AI developers.

The European Commission ordered Meta to provide free access to WhatsApp for competing AI assistants, reversing recent restrictions. Meta must restore previous terms by next week, with the EU citing competition risks in fast-evolving markets. The decision follows months of regulatory back-and-forth and could face Meta's appeal.
