OpenAI says ads coming to ChatGPT in Europe next week
The ChatGPT maker is burning through cash even as it girds for an initial public offering that could value it at nearly $1 trillion
OpenAI plans to introduce ads for its ChatGPT artificial intelligence service in Europe starting August 24, as the company seeks additional revenue to support its operations and upcoming IPO. The expansion will bring ads to 31 European countries, joining the service's existing rollout in the United States in February. This move aims to generate funds for OpenAI to compete with rivals like Anthropic and more affordable Chinese AI models.
Ads will appear on both the free version and paid Go subscribers in Europe, who pay €8 ($9.30) monthly. However, the free service will remain ad-free, ensuring that only a small percentage of OpenAI's one billion users encounter advertisements. OpenAI assures users that their conversations with ChatGPT will remain private from advertisers and that no customer data will be sold.
The company emphasizes that ads will be clearly labeled and separate from ChatGPT's responses, and will not influence the AI's answers. OpenAI stated that these ads will help marketers reach consumers actively exploring, comparing, and making decisions.
