OpenAI Introduces Ads in ChatGPT for Indian Users Amid Digital Market Competition
OpenAI has begun displaying ads to Free and ChatGPT Go users in India, integrating sponsored content as separate cards below chat responses. Advertisers can target ads based on conversation topics, user interaction, and past chats without accessing specific chat content. OpenAI emphasizes that ads do not influence the chatbot's answers. The move positions ChatGPT in competition with established digital advertising leaders like Google and Meta, which currently dominate India's digital ad market.
