EU designates ChatGPT a very large search engine under the DSA

The European Commission classified ChatGPT as a very large online search engine — the first generative AI chatbot to carry the label — after OpenAI reported roughly 159 million average monthly EU users, with Reddit and Roblox designated very large online platforms. All three have until December 31, 2026 to run systemic risk assessments and open ad archives, researcher data access, and semiannual transparency reports. The unresolved question is scope: law professor Natali Helberger notes Article 40 access rights may or may not extend to training data and model weights, and the designation does not let the Commission test the models directly.
