EU Eyes ChatGPT & Roblox for Stricter Online Rules
30 Jul
Summary
- EU may list ChatGPT and Roblox as very large online platforms.
- User numbers above DSA threshold make designation possible.
- Designated platforms face new rules and obligations.
The European Commission is contemplating the inclusion of artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT and the popular gaming platform Roblox within the scope of the Digital Services Act (DSA).
Thomas Regnier, a spokesperson for the Commission, indicated that such a designation is "definitely possible" and could occur in the near future. This potential classification stems from both ChatGPT and Roblox having reported user numbers that surpass the threshold set by the DSA.
Platforms and search engines identified as "very large" under the DSA are subject to a comprehensive set of regulations and obligations designed to create a safer online environment. The potential inclusion of these prominent digital services highlights the EU's ongoing efforts to regulate the online sphere.
