Google's AI Gamble: EU Pressure, Formula E Glory, and Growing Tech Headaches
Google BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Google has been buzzing with headlines this week, from regulatory heat in Europe to slick AI deals on the racetrack. The European Commission kicked things off Tuesday by launching specification proceedings under the Digital Markets Act to force Google into better compliance on Android interoperability for third-party AI services like Gemini and sharing anonymized search data with rivals, according to the Commissions official press release and ABC News reports. Google senior competition counsel Clare Kelly pushed back, warning it could hurt user privacy and innovation, but Brussels aims to level the AI playing field within six months.
On a high-octane note, Google Cloud scored big Monday as Formula E elevated it to Principal Partner in a multi-year deal, rolling out Gemini AI for race performance, fan insights via a new Strategy Agent in broadcasts, and digital twins to slash carbon footprints, per Google Cloud's press corner and SportsPro coverage. Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds called it a game-changer for motorsport tech, with Google Cloud EMEA president Tara Brady touting real-time edges in split-second sports.
Tech glitches stole the spotlight too. TechCrunch confirmed Google fixed a widespread Gmail spam misclassification outage Saturday that flooded inboxes and slapped false warnings on legit emails, though some echoes linger post-resolution. Pixel owners arent so lucky, with the January 2026 update crippling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on models like the Pixel 8 Pro and 10 Pro, plus battery drain and broken settings, as Android Police and Moneycontrol detailed from user forums and Googles X acknowledgment, no fix yet. Meanwhile, a nagging Google Ads notes bug has advertisers fuming since early January, vanishing documentation tools without official word, per ALM Corp and Search Engine Land.
Business moves included the January 22 Demand Gen Drop unveiling shoppable CTV on YouTube and travel feeds for bookings, boosting conversions, straight from Googles Ads blog. Google.org backed BCW's AI Intensive 2026 training for small businesses, and a charming ISRO-themed doodle lit up Indias Republic Day parade homage on January 26, via Times of India. Amid the drama, these steps signal Googles AI push, but bugs and EU scrutiny could cast long shadows on its empire.
