Summary created with AI assistance · Source: thenextweb.com
- The Commission classified ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine, while Reddit and Roblox became Very Large Online Platforms.
- Reported figures included 159 million monthly users for ChatGPT, 57.2 million for Reddit and roughly 48 million for Roblox.
- The companies must conduct annual systemic risk assessments, undergo independent audits and provide data to regulators and researchers.
- The four-month deadline ends in November; for serious violations, the Commission can impose fines of up to 6%.
These new designations mean that ChatGPT, Reddit and Roblox will now be held to a higher standard of scrutiny and accountability.— Henna Virkkunen, the Commission’s executive vice-president for tech sovereignty, security and democracy
