OpenAI ChatGPT Ads: How the New Testing Works
According to an announcement on Friday, OpenAI will begin testing ads in the coming weeks. The trial focuses on logged-in users in the United States who use the free tier or the ChatGPT Go subscription.
Privacy Guarantees and User Experience
OpenAI is walking a tightrope between monetization and user trust. The company stated it will keep conversations private from advertisers and reiterated that it does not sell user data. Importantly, advertisers won't be able to influence the AI's generated answers, which OpenAI says will remain optimized for helpfulness rather than commercial interest.
