OpenAI Adds Ads to ChatGPT in 31 European Countries
· Technology · NDTV, The Hindu
OpenAI will start showing advertisements in ChatGPT users across 31 European countries from Monday, after first launching the feature in the United States in February. The company announced the expansion late Tuesday, confirming that advertisers will now be able to target European users through the platform. This move follows OpenAI’s earlier decision to monetize its free persona to support continued development. The ads will appear within the chat interface and are expected to be similar to those shown in the U.S. rollout. The announcement does not detail the number of ads or the revenue share model for users or developers.
Why it matters
European users will see advertisements in ChatGPT, which may change their interaction experience and raise privacy and data‑sharing concerns under GDPR. Advertisers gain a new large, conversational audience across multiple EU markets, potentially altering ad strategies and budgets.
