According to OpenAI on X (Twitter), Asad Awan joined host Andrew Mayne to discuss how OpenAI developed its ad principles and why introducing advertisements in ChatGPT Free and Go tiers is intended to expand AI access by subsidizing usage at scale. As reported by OpenAI, the podcast outlines guardrails for ad relevance, safety, and transparency, positioning ads as a sustainable monetization channel that preserves user experience while funding broader availability of GPT models. According to the OpenAI post, the conversation highlights business implications for advertisers seeking privacy-safe, contextual placements within conversational AI and offers guidance on balancing revenue with user trust in generative AI interfaces.

According to Claude (@claudeai) on X, while advertisements are becoming increasingly common across AI platforms, Claude3 will not incorporate ads into its user experience. This move highlights Anthropic's commitment to an ad-free environment, setting it apart from competitors seeking new monetization strategies. As reported by Claude’s official X account, this decision may attract businesses and users preferring distraction-free, privacy-focused AI solutions, indicating a unique market positioning in the evolving AI landscape.
