Summary
ChatGPT Ads, OpenAI's advertising platform, has reached $1 billion in annualized revenue within 200 days and is expanding to India, Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. The system shows users ads relevant to their current conversation while keeping ads clearly labeled and separate from ChatGPT's answers, and advertisers cannot access private conversations or influence ChatGPT's responses. OpenAI built the platform around principles designed to protect user trust, allowing users to control how their ads are personalized.
