Google has challenged two European Union orders that require the company to provide greater access to parts of its Android system for rival artificial intelligence services and share certain search data with competing search engines.

The company has filed appeals with the General Court in Luxembourg, arguing that the requirements could create privacy and security concerns for users. Google has raised particular concerns about the sharing of search history and the protection of sensitive user information.

The European Union adopted the measures under the Digital Markets Act as part of efforts to increase competition in digital markets. One requirement seeks to give competing AI services access to Android features, while another requires Google to make anonymised search data available to eligible rival search engines.

The European Commission has said the measures include safeguards for user privacy and are intended to help competing AI assistants and search services develop their products.

The requirements are scheduled to be implemented in stages, with key measures concerning anonymised search data expected to be completed in the coming months.
