Google must open its phone system Android. The EU decides this now. Users shall use other AI assistants easily. This works with voice commands too. Google prefers its own service Gemini until now. Other companies like OpenAI get search data too. Google must hide personal details in the data. This is called to anonymize. This means: No one knows the name of the user. The EU wants less power for big tech firms. Google does not like this decision. The company worries about user safety. Google says: Foreign apps could steal data. The EU says: Only safe apps get access. Google has 1 year for the changes. In China Apple works with companies like Alibaba. The AI starts there soon. Companies like Nubia show new AI phones. These phones have extra buttons for artificial intelligence. Many people write job applications with help from AI.
