from AI in 10
Text us your thoughts!Google's grip on Android just hit a regulatory wall — and AI assistants are at the center of it. The European Commission issued a landmark enforcement order targeting Google specifically over how it controls AI assistant access on Android and Search. Under the Digital Markets Act, Google must now provide rival AI assistants with comparable access to the same device-level data and integration hooks that Gemini currently enjoys by default. It's the first DMA action aimed squarely at the AI assistant layer, and it sets a precedent that could reshape how hundreds of millions of Android users experience AI on their phones. Non-compliance risks fines of up to 10% of Google's global annual revenue. Here's what most coverage missed about why this matters beyond Europe — full breakdown in today's episode.
