OpenAI has started showing advertisements to some ChatGPT users in India, expanding a new source of revenue in one of the chatbot's largest markets as the artificial intelligence company looks for ways to monetize its massive consumer audience.
The ads are being introduced for logged-in adults using ChatGPT's Free and Go plans, while users of Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu accounts will not see them. OpenAI's Help Center says ads may appear below ChatGPT responses and are kept visually separate from the answers themselves. Accounts identified as belonging to people under 18 are also excluded from the program.
