The EU made ChatGPT the first AI chatbot designated a Very Large Online Search Engine under the DSA
The European Commission designated ChatGPT a VLOSE on August 31, on the reasoning that a chatbot pulling live results from the internet functions as a search engine in regulatory terms. OpenAI reported roughly 159.1 million average monthly EU users, more than triple the 45 million designation threshold. By the end of December 2026 OpenAI must publish a systemic risk assessment covering illegal content, child safety, mental health, fundamental rights and election integrity, fund an annual independent audit, and staff an independent compliance function.
