Safety Guardrails

OpenAI notes that it has guardrails in place to determine when a conversation is “appropriate” for ads, with the goal of keeping them out of “emotionally vulnerable, sensitive, or otherwise unsuitable contexts.” The company says it’s testing visual ads with an “initial group of advertisers,” and plans to try out new formats in the future.
