AI Weekly Malaysia

OpenAI is expanding ChatGPT Ads to 31 European countries next week, six months after launching ads in the U.S. Ads appear only for Free and Go plan users; Plus, Pro, and Enterprise remain ad-free. Self-service via Ads Manager won't arrive until later this summer—currently only through OpenAI's ads team and partners.

Why: No Asia-Pacific rollout is mentioned, so Malaysian founders can't act on this yet. Worth noting that ChatGPT is becoming an ad surface alongside search, which could eventually shift where discovery budgets go—but there's nothing to do today.

Europe has cancelled planned upgrades for the Ariane 6 rocket. The article body was not captured beyond cookie consent boilerplate, so details on which upgrades were cut, timelines, and rationale are unavailable from the provided text.

Why: No actionable takeaway for this audience can be derived from the title alone. Ariane 6 is sovereign European launch infrastructure with no direct line to AI tooling, cloud services, or Malaysian/SEA builder decisions. Skip unless you track space policy for satellite or edge-infrastructure strategy.
