Brussels ordered Google to grant competing AI assistants comparable access to Android features and to share anonymized search data, challenging its structural dominance.
The European Commission issued binding decisions on July 16 requiring Google to open 11 Android feature groups to rival AI assistants and to share anonymized search data with eligible third parties. Rivals like ChatGPT and Claude will gain deeper system integration, while the data-sharing mandate addresses concerns over Google's control of search information. The changes take effect in phases: data sharing begins January 2027, and Android interoperability is due by July 2027. Non-compliance carries fines of up to 10% of global annual turnover.

The software giant is redirecting cash flow from its workforce to finance the massive Stargate compute buildout with OpenAI.
Oracle announced a reduction of approximately 30,000 employees, roughly 18% of its workforce, to free up an estimated $8 to $10 billion in annual cash flow. These funds are earmarked for the Stargate project, a $50 billion AI infrastructure initiative involving a five-year, $300 billion cloud contract with OpenAI. The move signals a strategic shift where legacy tech vendors are prioritizing capital expenditure for AI data centers over maintaining current workforce levels, even as the company reports record revenue.

ServiceNow confirmed it will release second-quarter 2026 financial results after market close on July 22, followed by a conference call and live webcast.
The company, which reported strong first-quarter 2026 results that beat the high end of its guidance across all topline growth and profitability metrics, raised its full-year subscription revenue forecast in April. Q1 2026 showed continued momentum in AI and enterprise workflow adoption. The Q2 print will be the first earnings look since the Knowledge 2026 event in May, where the company unveiled its AI Control Tower, autonomous workforce capabilities, and expanded partnerships with NVIDIA and Microsoft.

ServiceNow announced a fundamental packaging shift, making AI, data connectivity, workflow execution, security, and governance standard across every product and package, eliminating the need for separate procurement projects.
The new model introduces a Context Engine that grounds AI agents in real-time enterprise reality, connecting relationships, policy, and decision history behind every agent decision. The company cited data from its Service Graph and Knowledge Graph — 85 billion workflows and 7 trillion transactions annually — as the foundation. Build Agent Skills are now open to developers across major IDEs including Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf, with free tiers for customers (100 calls) and personal developer instances (25 calls). An Enterprise Service Management (ESM) Foundation tier launched for midsize companies, promising deployment in weeks rather than months.
