EU designates ChatGPT, Reddit, Roblox under Digital Services Act
We have designated ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine and Reddit and Roblox as Very Large Online Platforms under the Digital Services Act. They now have four months to comply with additional DSA obligations. #DSA
I'm just going to wait for @tupped.bsky.social to weigh in on this and tell us if it's a good thing
because … „Under the DSA, users have the right to challenge content moderation decisions. Those who are unsatisfied can choose between complaining to the platform or using an out-of-court dispute settlement mechanism.“ 👏👏👏
Designation is only the beginning. The real test is whether people can understand how these systems rank information, use personal data and shape what they see. Compliance reports should be public, comparable and written for citizens, not only regulators.
Good to see that some have realised that LLMs are basically just search engines. When do we stop calling them ‘AI’?
I don't know much about European courts, but I'm curious about the extent to which the designation of ChatGPT as a search engine can be challenged in court. My guess is it was the only existing category they could shove ChatGPT into, yet it's obviously so much more than just a search engine.

Meanwhile, back in the UK…..
This is significant indeed, with potentially huge implications for research and data access to study those systems:
Les états membres ne peuvent donc plus, à leur échelle, réguler / interdire #ChatGPT / #Reddit ainsi que #Roblox (cette dernière étant assez prisée des mineurs, et sous surveillance @arcom.fr) qui relèvent désormais de la compétence exclusive de la Commission 🇪🇺. #DSA
Luego para que haya gente que diga que la Unión Europea no hace nada más que intentar contentar a Trump. Vamos a tener en breve un post de Trump que en Truth Social cagándose en la UE por esto. Ya lo veréis.
Oh, das wird OpenAI, Reddit und Roblox massiv frohlocken. Nicht. :D
