Google challenges EU-required Android interoperability for AI agents

Google said European Commission measures under the Digital Markets Act require deeper Android access for user-downloaded AI agents and argued that this could weaken sandbox and permission protections. The Commission's objective is interoperability for gatekeeper services; Google's security assessment is a company position, not an independently established outcome. Implementation details will determine the actual attack surface.

Impact: mobile-agent interoperability creates a design conflict among competition, user choice and least privilege. Developers should expect tighter review of capabilities, consent, isolation, audit and revocation.
