The EU on Monday laid out measures it wants Google to take to open up its operating system to rival AI services, in a move slammed by the U.S. tech giant.
“The proposed measures aim to ensure that competing AI services can effectively interact with applications on users’ Android devices and execute tasks accordingly, such as sending an email using the user’s preferred email app, ordering food or sharing a photo with friends,” the European Commission said.
