Popular generative AI bot ChatGPT could face the EU’s strictest platform rules under the Digital Services Act, as it surpassed 120 million monthly users in Europe earlier this week.
ChatGPT, the AI chatbot made by US company OpenAI, could be subject to the strictest EU platform rules after it said on Tuesday that it now has more than 120 million users per month in Europe, a spokesperson for the European Commission hinted at on Wednesday.
Under the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA), which aims to combat the spread of illegal content and products online, the largest online platforms face stricter rules than smaller ones due to their significant societal impact, including their potential to spread harmful content and disinformation.
Platforms with more than 45 million users per month, such as Amazon, X, TikTok, and Meta’s Facebook and Instagram, need to meet more transparency reporting obligations and pay higher supervisory fees than others to allow the Commission to keep a closer eye on the measures they take to clamp down on illegal content.
Platforms need to update the EU executive on the user numbers in the 27-member bloc every half year.
