OpenAI plans to add e-commerce checkouts into ChatGPT and take a cut of online shopping purchases made within the chatbot. The move is a way for OpenAI to make money from people using AI for shopping inspiration and product recommendations. Merchants that receive orders placed through ChatGPT’s checkout will pay OpenAI a commission, the report said, a new source of revenue for OpenAI. OpenAI and partners including Shopify have been presenting early versions of the feature to brands, the report said. ChatGPT already offers product recommendations and links to products, but currently sends shoppers to outside sites to complete their purchase. In April, OpenAI said it was exploring ways for merchants to share product information directly with ChatGPT to help improve the accuracy of search results. https://www.reuters.com/b..
