OpenAI plans to introduce ads based on your conversations with ChatGPT

OpenAI will test ads for ChatGPT's 800 million free users to boost revenue amid heavy financial obligations while keeping ads separate from AI responses.

  • OpenAI said Friday it hasn't yet rolled out ads but will start testing them in the coming weeks for non-paying ChatGPT users.
  • Monetization pressure from investors has pushed OpenAI, valued at $500 billion and serving more than 800 million users, to seek revenue beyond paid subscriptions to cover more than $1 trillion in financial obligations after reorganizing last year as a public benefit corporation.
  • OpenAI said in posts Friday that ads will appear at ChatGPT's answer bottoms when relevant, be clearly labeled, and CEO Fidji Simo said they won't influence responses, though Forrester analyst Paddy Harrington questioned privacy duration.
  • The change will expose ChatGPT's more than 800 million users to ads, while experts warn it leads OpenAI `down a risky path` of exploiting user trust, Miranda Bogen said.
  • OpenAI framed the plan as mission-aligned and said advertising will be `always in support` of its original goal, while CEO Sam Altman noted ad models work as rivals Meta and Google already use ads in AI.
