OpenAI Opens ChatGPT Ads Manager to Israeli Businesses

OpenAI has opened its self-service Ads Manager to Israeli legal entities, allowing businesses to create, launch, budget and monitor ChatGPT advertising campaigns. The change gives Israel-based advertisers access to the same platform now offered across several Middle Eastern markets, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait. OpenAI has not said when ChatGPT users in Israel will begin seeing ads, because advertiser access and consumer ad delivery are separate rollouts. The expansion follows rapid growth for OpenAI's advertising business, which reached a $1 billion annualized revenue run rate in under 200 days.
