CoinVoice has recently learned that, according to the Financial Times, OpenAI is discussing plans to introduce advertising to its AI products, as the ChatGPT developer is seeking new revenue sources. OpenAI's Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar stated in an interview with the Financial Times that the AI startup is considering an advertising model and added that they plan to 'proceed cautiously on when and where to implement advertising.'
This company, headquartered in San Francisco, secured $6.6 billion in new funding in October, and according to multiple informed sources and an analysis of LinkedIn accounts by the Financial Times, OpenAI is recruiting advertising talent from major tech companies like Meta and Google.
In a statement after the interview, Friar added: “Our current business is experiencing rapid growth, and we see significant opportunities within our existing business model. While we are open to exploring other revenue sources in the future, there are currently no active plans to launch an advertising business.” [Original link]
