On 27 January 2026, the European Commission opened specification proceedings under the Digital Markets Act (DMA) to address interoperability of Google’s Android. It has sent preliminary findings to Alphabet’s Google, outlining draft measures that would allow third‑party AI services to access key Android capabilities. The proposals would enable competing AI tools to be activated by custom wake words and to interact with apps for tasks such as sending e‑mail, ordering food, or sharing photos—functions currently reserved for Google’s own AI. The Commission is conducting a public consultation until 13 May 2026, inviting all stakeholders to submit comments. Feedback may lead to adjustments before a final binding decision is adopted within six months. The process is part of the DMA’s broader effort to prevent digital bottlenecks and promote competition.
