EU tightens oversight on ChatGPT as large search engine

eu commission classifies chatgpt as very large search engine due to its web search and 45m eu users. chatgpt, reddit, and roblox have four months to meet strict oversight rules, including assessing risks from illegal content and election interference. the new requirements include data access for researchers, but it's disputed whether this covers training data or model weights. this classification gives the commission more audit powers.
