EU Officially Designates ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine
LuizaJarovsky · x · 2026-08-31
The EU has officially designated ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine (VLOSE) under the Digital Services Act (DSA). This subjects ChatGPT to the same strict regulatory obligations as platforms like Google and Amazon, including risk assessments and transparency reporting. This move blurs the line between traditional search and AI chatbots, posing new competitive pressure on traditional search giants like Google.
