ChatGPT under new European AI rules

The European Commission announced that ChatGPT has become the first artificial intelligence application to be subjected to strict regulatory rules under the Digital Services Act (DSA), aiming to oversee AI technologies more rigorously. ChatGPT has been classified as a search engine, which also includes platforms like Reddit and Roblox that have exceeded 45 million active users monthly in the European Union. These platforms are now required to assess risks, protect users, and reduce illegal content within four months. This decision sets a regulatory precedent that influences future expectations for generative AI systems and reflects the European Union’s move towards establishing a strict supervisory framework for major technology companies.
