EU forces Google to share Search resources with AI rivals

EU regulators ordered Google to share resources with competing AI and search services under antitrust rules, requiring it to open up capabilities previously exclusive to its own products.

Why it matters: This extends the EU's pattern of using antitrust enforcement, following the Digital Markets Act, to force interoperability, this time targeting Google's AI/search data advantage rather than app stores or browsers. If enforced meaningfully, it could lower the barrier for AI search competitors like Perplexity to match Google's index quality.
