OpenAI is bringing ChatGPT ads to 31 European countries

OpenAI will launch ads in ChatGPT across 31 European countries next week, extending the U.S. rollout that previously added eight markets including Canada, the UK and Japan. Ads appear only for Free and Go users; Plus, Pro and Enterprise plans stay ad-free. OpenAI says ads are labeled, do not affect chatbot responses, and keep conversations private. The company cites a billion weekly active users, with roughly 20% showing commercial intent, to justify the expansion.
