    This statement tells more about Apple than about EU. What DMA says is that third party API access must be on the same level as first party API access.

    Apple would have to give any virtual assistant direct access to users’ private data — and the ability to directly control other installed applications

    This simply means that Siri AI has direct access to users private data and the ability to directly control other installed applications.

    the DMA requires Apple to give any AI system nearly unlimited access to a user’s device, as well as the ability to act on that access autonomously without a user’s ongoing visibility and control. That includes the ability to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and execute actions across any app.

    This is what Siri AI is doing.

    The EU rejected Apple decision to not follow the law by giving Siri AI privileged access to users private data and apps while preventing others to do the same.
