The European Commission has classified ChatGPT as a very large search engine, triggering enhanced obligations for its developer, OpenAI, under the Digital Services Act (DSA). This designation subjects OpenAI to stricter rules regarding content moderation, transparency, risk management, and algorithmic accountability. The decision marks a significant regulatory step for AI-powered platforms in the European Union, potentially setting a precedent for how generative AI services are governed under existing digital legislation. The classification implies that ChatGPT's reach and impact meet the threshold for systemic risks, requiring OpenAI to comply with DSA provisions designed for major online platforms. This move could affect OpenAI's operations in Europe, including data handling and user safety measures.
