ChatGPT Ads Not Expanding Globally Yet OpenAI Confirms Only Available in US and Respects User Privacy

Recently, some Reddit users noticed ChatGPT's privacy policy mentions ads, sparking speculation about OpenAI expanding the ad feature globally. Earlier this year in February, OpenAI first launched ChatGPT ads in the US, whose personalized model raised concerns about the model's stance and purity.

OpenAI later responded that ChatGPT ads are currently only available in the US with no global expansion plans. The company uses a cautious phased strategy, learning from real user environments before considering expansion.

Additionally, ads are only displayed below responses, visible to free and Go subscription users, and not to those under 18. The ad system is independent of the chat model; brands cannot influence answers, and user privacy is respected.
