EU、MetaにWhatsAppでのChatGPT復帰を認めさせる
OpenAIはEUの命令を受け、Metaによる以前の禁止を迂回して、ヨーロッパでWhatsApp上のChatGPTを再び有効化した。相互運用性にとっての大きな勝利であり、AIの流通を再形成する可能性がある。
openai restored chatgpt access to whatsapp in the european economic area using the number 1-800-242-8478, supporting text, image generation, and voice messages without a login. the model identifies as gpt-5.5, and image requests route to gpt-image-2. this re-entry follows a european commission decision in june 2026 ordering meta to allow rival services back after the company exclusively promoted its own meta ai. openai is similarly expanding to kakao in south korea and viber, signaling how regulatory pressure can fragment proprietary ecosystems and force platforms to become distribution channels for competitors.
