As a result, the Commission may be able to act against platforms integrating such systems (such as X), but not necessarily against the systems themselves (such as Grok). This asymmetry raises a broader question that has increasingly gained attention in policy and academic debates: can generative AI applications be brought within the scope of the DSA?
