Google Stock Rises on EU’s Clarity for Gemini AI and Search Data Access
Google parent Alphabet Inc. saw its shares climb modestly after European regulators outlined forthcoming guidance on equitable access to its Gemini AI models and search data. The European Commission's MOVE under the Digital Markets Act signals a structured approach to enforcing competition rules, with a six-month timeline for implementation.
Investors responded positively to reduced regulatory uncertainty, though questions remain about how 'equally effective access' will be defined for third-party developers. The ruling could create new opportunities for middleware firms specializing in AI integration while allowing Google to maintain its technological edge.
Market analysts note the EU's clear timeline provides a favorable framework for tech giants navigating compliance. The guidance comes as global regulators increasingly focus on balancing innovation with fair competition in AI development.
