The integration of ChatGPT into
Apple's operating service iOS could trigger a revision of new
European Union rules for digital competition.
The Digital Markets Act (DMA), the EU's digital antitrust
regulation, and its processes "are quite flexible" and "can be
updated if needed", said the European Commission's competition
spokesperson Lea Zuber on Tuesday, adding that, if the
platform's services change, "this can be reflected in the
regulatory obligations".
Large language models (Llm) "do not feature on our list of
core platform services", the spokesperson specified, referring
to the Digital Markets Act.
She added that, "having said this, ChatGPT and other large
language models could be integrated into core platform services,
for example online search engines or virtual assistants".
Zuber went on to say that an assessment will be made by the
Commission once ChatGPT's service "will be actually integrated"
into Apple's iOS.
Apple on Monday announced a partnership agreement with Chat
GPT builder OpenAI.
Under the agreement, the popular chatbot will be integrated
into the upcoming versions of Apple's operating systems for
iPhones, iPads and Macs.
In particular, Apple's digital assistant Siri, which was
launched over 10 years ago, will become more than an assistant,
interacting with users along the lines of what Google has
already accomplished.
