OpenAI launches ChatGPT advertisements in Germany and Europe
OpenAI has launched advertisements within ChatGPT in Germany and approximately 30 other European countries. The ads are introduced for users on the free tier and the Go plan, appearing directly beneath the AI's responses and marked as 'Sponsored'.
Users subscribed to the Plus or Business plans will not see these advertisements. In the European Union, the ads are currently non-personalized, meaning they are triggered by the context of the conversation rather than specific user profiles. OpenAI utilizes broad data points such as language, device type, and approximate location to serve these ads. The company has stated that the presence of advertisements does not influence the content of the AI's generated responses.
