Google must open Android to rival AI agents, EU orders
Summary
The European Union ordered Google to open Android (its mobile operating system) to rival AI assistants like competitors to Gemini, giving them equal access to apps and system services to increase competition. Google warns this could create security risks, while security experts worry that multiple AI agents with deep system access could break traditional security models where the operating system controls what different programs can do.
