EU classifies ChatGPT as Very Large Online Search Engine under DSA, exposing regulatory gap
OmarUFlorez · x · 2026-09-08
OmarUFlorez highlights a widening gap between Silicon Valley and Europe on AI: the Valley's frontier is now systems that reason over long horizons, call tools, run code, and complete tasks with minimal human intervention, while the European Commission just classified ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine under the DSA. He argues the real issue isn't the label but that regulators are applying inherited web categories — search engines retrieve and rank information, whereas modern LLMs observe, reason, execute, and modify their own context.
