OpenAI plans to expand ChatGPT advertising to 31 European countries next week, according to the report. Free and Go users in the new markets are expected to see labeled ad placements, while Plus, Pro and Enterprise tiers will remain ad-free. Advertisers will initially enter through OpenAI's Ads Solutions team, agency partners and technology partners; self-service access through Ads Manager is planned later in the summer.
