Oct 21 : OpenAI said on Wednesday it was expanding advertising on ChatGPT to 26 more countries, bringing the total to 89, as the AI company beefs up its advertising business to boost revenue ahead of a potential initial public offering.

• OpenAI began testing ads in ChatGPT in the US earlier this year, and more than 100,000 advertisers have since run campaigns on the platform, the company said
• The expansion adds 14 more Latin American countries, including Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru, following launches in Mexico and Brazil
