In today’s podcast episode, we explore three of the biggest questions surrounding OpenAI: What if the company had chosen a business-focused approach over the consumer market? How much can OpenAI realistically expect to generate in advertising revenue by 2030? And how will the company address the potential effects of ChatGPT on young people? Plus, more.

Join Senior Director of Podcasts and host Marcus Johnson, Principal Analyst Nate Elliott, and Consumer Insights Analyst Paola Flores-Marquez for the discussion.
