ChatGPT to introduce ads in Japan, including free plans

OpenAI says it will expand its ChatGPT ad pilot to Japan and several other countries in the coming weeks.

The ads will start on free and lower-priced plans, including ChatGPT Go, and will not interfere with answer content.

Sponsored labels will be shown clearly, and ads will not be displayed to minors.

The move could help OpenAI grow free and affordable ChatGPT access by adding ad revenue.
