The European Commission has said Google should allow third-party search engines, including that of artificial ?intelligence chatbots with search functionalities, to access its search data in order to comply with the Digital Markets Act. Clare Kelly, senior competition counsel at Google, said the company would contest the measures, which it said overreached and would jeopardise ?users’ privacy. “Hundreds of millions of Europeans trust Google with their ?most sensitive searches – including private questions about their health, family, and finances – ?and the Commission’s proposal would force us to hand this data over ?to third parties, with dangerously ineffective privacy protections,” Kelly said.
