Technologie: ChatGPT fällt künftig unter deutlich strengere EU‑Regeln
Künftig gilt für ChatGPT der DSA, mit dem die EU bereits zahlreiche Prozesse gegen Tech-Konzerne begründet hat. Auch zwei andere Plattformen sind betroffen.
Brussels: The EU is set to impose significantly stricter regulations on ChatGPT, the popular AI bot, as well as Reddit and the game platform Roblox. All three online services have crossed a crucial threshold in terms of user numbers and will now need to comply with the Digital Services Act (DSA). This comes from a statement by the EU Commission.
The DSA aims to provide the EU with greater room for maneuver against large online platforms and has been in effect since February 2024. The Brussels-based internet watchdogs have already initiated numerous proceedings against platforms such as TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and major porn websites based on the law. Similar hefty fines have been imposed by the EU Commission on Elon Musk's social network X as well as the online retailers Temu and AliExpress for failing to adhere to the regulations despite warnings.
According to the European Commission, ChatGPT, Reddit, and Roblox have been given four months to adjust to the new rules. All three US-based companies have surpassed the threshold of an average of 45 million users per month. Consequently, Reddit and Roblox are now considered very large online platforms under the law.
