Apple Criticizes EU AI Access Measures
Apple Inc. on Wednesday criticized the European Union's proposed measures aimed at compelling Google to facilitate access for artificial intelligence (AI) rivals to its services. The technology giant, in a submission responding to the European Commission's draft proposals, warned that these measures could compromise user privacy, security, and safety.
The European Commission had sought feedback last month on draft regulations designed to ensure Google's compliance with the Digital Markets Act (DMA), a legislative framework intended to curb the market dominance of large technology companies. , had previously argued that allowing competing AI services to interact with Android applications for tasks such as email, food ordering, or photo sharing would undermine existing privacy and security safeguards for European users.
Apple, which is also subject to EU initiatives to open its proprietary ecosystem, stated its significant interest in the case due to its own operating systems for iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers. The company highlighted that the draft measures raise “urgent and serious concerns,” asserting that their implementation would create “profound risks” for user data integrity and device performance, particularly given the unpredictable nature of evolving AI systems.
