AI Summary

OpenAI has announced plans to test targeted advertisements in ChatGPT for registered adult users in the U.S. The company will also launch a new subscription tier called 'Go' at $8 per month, which includes enhanced features but will also display ads.

Key Details: • New 'Go' subscription available for $8/month with ads included. • Ads will be labeled as 'sponsored' and will not affect response content. • Users can disable personalized ads based on their conversations. • No ads will be shown to users under 18, as determined by AI analysis.
