EU designates ChatGPT a Very Large Search Engine under DSA

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The European Commission has classified ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine under the Digital Services Act (DSA), marking the first time an AI service has been subjected to these stringent platform regulations. This designation, along with those for Reddit and Roblox, stems from their exceeding the 45 million monthly user threshold within the EU. Consequently, OpenAI must now conduct systemic risk assessments, undergo independent audits, and share data with regulators, facing potential fines of up to 6% of global annual turnover for non-compliance.
