ChatGPT Ads Officially Roll Out To Free And Go Users In Malaysia

OpenAI has officially launched advertisements for its ChatGPT service to free and Go plan users in Malaysia. This expansion follows the rollout of ads to US users earlier this year, with the AI company now bringing ads to Southeast Asia, including Malaysia. Free users and those on the low-priced ChatGPT Go plan will be the only ones to see ads, while those on the Plus and Pro plans, as well as organizations on Business and Enterprise plans, will not experience this.

Users must be 18 years or older to view the ads. During a media briefing, OpenAI's Vice President of Global Ad Solutions, Dave Dugan, clarified several aspects of the implementation. The ads will be clearly labeled and distinct from the model's responses. The frequency of ads will depend on user engagement rather than their chosen plan tier.

Advertisements will be relevant to the user's task, such as showing Bali-related ads for people seeking travel information. OpenAI emphasized that ads will not affect ChatGPT's responses and will adhere to strict policies, focusing on user privacy and compliance with local laws. Advertisers can access ChatGPT ads via OpenAI's Ads Solutions team, agency partners, and technology partners, while eligible businesses can sign up through the dedicated Ads Manager page.
