Ads will appear on the free version and the low-cost Go tier, but not for Pro, Business, or Enterprise subscribers.<\/p>\n<p>The company says ads will be clearly separated from chatbot responses and will not influence outputs. It has also pledged not to sell user conversations, to let users turn off personalised ads, and to avoid ads for users under 18 or around sensitive topics such as health and politics.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the move\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/OpenAI\/comments\/1qg4mhl\/if_youre_so_worried_about_ads_in_chatgpt\/\">has raised concerns<\/a>\u00a0among some users. The key question is whether OpenAI\u2019s voluntary safeguards will hold once advertising becomes central to its business.<\/p>\n<h2>Why ads in AI were always likely<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve seen this before. Fifteen years ago, social media platforms struggled to turn vast audiences into profit.<\/p>\n<p>The breakthrough came with targeted advertising: tailoring ads to what users search for, click on, and pay attention to. This model became the dominant revenue source for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/s206.q4cdn.com\/479360582\/files\/doc_financials\/2024\/q4\/goog-10-k-2024.pdf\">Google<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/investor.atmeta.com\/investor-news\/press-release-details\/2025\/Meta-Reports-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-2024-Results\/\">Facebook<\/a>, reshaping their services so they maximised user engagement.<\/p>\n<p>Large-scale artificial intelligence (AI) is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/technology\/openai-expects-business-burn-115-billion-through-2029-information-reports-2025-09-06\/\">extremely expensive<\/a>. Training and running advanced models requires vast data centres, specialised chips, and constant engineering. Despite rapid user growth, many AI firms still operate at a loss. OpenAI alone expects to burn US$115 billion\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/technology\/openai-expects-business-burn-115-billion-through-2029-information-reports-2025-09-06\/\">over the next five years<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Only a few companies can absorb these costs. For most AI providers, a scalable revenue model is urgent and targeted advertising is the obvious answer. It remains the most reliable way to profit from large audiences.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What history teaches us about OpenAI\u2019s promises<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/our-approach-to-advertising-and-expanding-access\/\">OpenAI says<\/a>\u00a0it will keep ads separate from answers and protect user privacy. These assurances may sound comforting, but, for now, they rest on vague and easily reinterpreted commitments.<\/p>\n<p>The company proposes not to show ads \u201cnear sensitive or regulated topics like health, mental health or politics\u201d, yet\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/help.openai.com\/en\/articles\/20001047-ads-in-chatgpt\">offers little clarity<\/a>\u00a0about what counts as \u201csensitive,\u201d how broadly \u201chealth\u201d will be defined, or who decides where the boundaries lie.<\/p>\n<p>Most real-world conversations with AI will sit outside these narrow categories. So far OpenAI has not provided any details on which advertising categories will be included or excluded. However, if no restrictions were placed on the content of the ads, it\u2019s easy to picture that a user asking \u201chow to wind down after a stressful day\u201d might be shown alcohol delivery ads. A query about \u201cfun weekend ideas\u201d could surface gambling promotions.<\/p>\n<p>These products are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iris.who.int\/server\/api\/core\/bitstreams\/c810e094-9f28-4e09-bb13-90355d78f8de\/content\">linked to recognised health and social harms<\/a>. Placed beside personalised guidance at the moment of decision-making, such ads can steer behaviour in subtle but powerful ways, even when no explicit health issue is discussed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrlc.org.au\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/2410-Principles-for-Digital-Platforms-Regulation-Report.pdf\">Similar promises<\/a>\u00a0about guardrails marked the early years of social media.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/issueone.org\/projects\/big-techs-broken-promises\/\">History shows<\/a>\u00a0how self-regulation weakens under commercial pressure, ultimately benefiting companies while leaving users exposed to harm.<\/p>\n<p>Advertising incentives have a long record of undermining the public interest. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bipartisanpolicy.org\/article\/cambridge-analytica-controversy\/\">Cambridge Analytica scandal<\/a>\u00a0exposed how personal data collected for ads could be repurposed for political influence. The \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/the-facebook-files-11631713039\">Facebook files<\/a>\u201d revealed that Meta knew its platforms were causing serious harms, including to teenage mental health, but resisted changes that threatened advertising revenue.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/investigations\/meta-is-earning-fortune-deluge-fraudulent-ads-documents-show-2025-11-06\/\">More recent investigations<\/a>\u00a0show Meta continues to generate revenue from scam and fraudulent ads even after being warned about their harms.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Why chatbots raise the stakes<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Chatbots are not merely another social media feed.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2025\/04\/how-people-are-really-using-gen-ai-in-2025\">People use them<\/a>\u00a0in intimate, personal ways for advice, emotional support and private reflection. These interactions feel discreet and non-judgmental, and often prompt disclosures people would not make publicly.<\/p>\n<p>That trust amplifies persuasion in ways social media does not. People seek help and make decisions when they consult chatbots. Even with formal separation from responses, ads appear in a private, conversational setting rather than a public feed.<\/p>\n<p>Messages placed beside personalised guidance \u2013 about products, lifestyle choices, finances or politics \u2013 are likely to be more influential than the same ads seen while browsing.<\/p>\n<p>As OpenAI positions ChatGPT as a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/our-approach-to-advertising-and-expanding-access\/\">super assistant<\/a>\u201d for everything from finances to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2026\/jan\/15\/chatgpt-health-ai-chatbot-medical-advice\">health<\/a>, the line between advice and persuasion blurs.<\/p>\n<p>For scammers and autocrats, the appeal of a more powerful propaganda tool is clear. For AI providers, the financial incentives to accommodate them will be hard to resist.<\/p>\n<p>The root problem is a structural conflict of interest. Advertising models reward platforms for maximising engagement, yet the content that best sustains attention is often misleading, emotionally charged or harmful to health.<\/p>\n<p>This is why voluntary restraint by online platforms has repeatedly failed.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Is there a better way forward?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>One option is to treat AI as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thepolicymaker.appi.org.au\/safeguarding-australias-sovereignty-with-public-digital-infrastructure\/\">digital public infrastructure<\/a>: these are essential systems designed to serve the public rather than maximise advertising revenue.<\/p>\n<p>This need not exclude private firms. It requires at least one high-quality\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/3788880\">public option<\/a>, democratically overseen \u2013 akin to public broadcasters alongside commercial media.<\/p>\n<p>Elements of this model already exist. Switzerland developed the publicly funded AI system\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ethz.ch\/en\/news-and-events\/eth-news\/news\/2025\/09\/press-release-apertus-a-fully-open-transparent-multilingual-language-model.html\">Apertus<\/a>\u00a0through its universities and national supercomputing centre. It is open source, compliant with European AI law, and free from advertising.<\/p>\n<p>Australia could go further. Alongside building our own AI tools, regulators could impose clear rules on commercial providers: mandating transparency, banning health-harming or political advertising, and enforcing penalties \u2013 including shutdowns \u2013 for serious breaches.<\/p>\n<p>Advertising did not corrupt social media overnight. It\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/how-the-internet-became-enshittified-and-how-we-might-be-able-to-deshittify-it-269376\">slowly changed incentives<\/a>\u00a0until public harm became the collateral damage of private profit. Bringing it into conversational AI risks repeating the mistake, this time in systems people trust far more deeply.<\/p>\n<p>The key question is not technical but political: should AI serve the public, or advertisers and investors?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios:<\/strong> Raffaele F Ciriello is Senior Lecturer in Business Information Systems at the University of Sydney and Kathryn Backholer is Co-Director, Global Centre for Preventive Health and Nutrition at Deakin University<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenAI has announced\u00a0plans to introduce advertising in ChatGPT in the United States.
