On April 27, the European Commission published draft measures under the Digital Markets Act requiring Google to grant competing AI assistants the same Android access currently exclusive to Gemini—voice activation triggers, system-level app integration (email, calendar, photo sharing), screen-reading, and custom wake words. The draft stems from specification proceedings opened January 27 and follows Google's transition of Gemini across two billion Android devices. Third parties have until May 13 to submit feedback; a binding DMA compliance decision is due by end of July, with non-compliance risking fines exceeding 10% of Alphabet's global annual revenue. Google called the intervention "unwarranted," arguing it would raise costs and weaken privacy protections for European users.
