"Artificial-intelligence giant OpenAI is about to stick ads in its popular ChatGPT application for some users - but the company insists it will have measures in place to protect users' privacy and ensure their trust. The company Friday announced that it will launch a test of advertising in the U.S. in free and low-cost versions of ChatGPT. Initially, OpenAI plans to test ads at the bottom of answers in ChatGPT when there's a relevant sponsored product or service based on your current conversation."
"OpenAI's Simo took pains to spell out what the company will not do as it makes its foray into selling advertising. She said that "your data and conversations are protected and never sold to advertisers." Ads will be clearly labeled and separated from the "organic answer" provided by ChatGPT, and users will be able to dismiss any ad and disable personalization. "Ads do not influence the answers ChatGPT gives you," Simo wrote."
OpenAI will test advertising in the U.S. within free and low-cost ChatGPT versions, placing relevant sponsored links at the bottom of answers. Ads will be clearly labeled, separated from organic responses, and users can dismiss ads or disable personalization. OpenAI says user data and conversations will be protected and never sold to advertisers, and that ads will not influence ChatGPT’s answers. During the test, ads will be excluded from accounts of users under 18 and will not appear near sensitive topics such as health, mental health, or politics. ChatGPT Go begins at $8 per month, while paid tiers remain ad-free.
