OpenAI Pilots Brand Suitability Controls with DoubleVerify and IAS
OpenAI announced during Advertising Week New York that it is piloting brand suitability controls with DoubleVerify (DV) and Integral Ad Science (IAS). The two verification firms will independently assess how OpenAI applies its brand safety standards in a controlled testing environment, without accessing private user conversations. This move aims to provide advertisers with greater transparency and follows a trend of platforms seeking third-party verification to build trust with buyers. ChatGPT reportedly reaches 1.2 billion users weekly. OpenAI is also testing a larger, image-led ad format and expanding its measurement partners.
DV launches ChatGPT ad attribution and brand suitability
DoubleVerify (DV) announced the launch of attribution measurement for ChatGPT Ads, enabling advertisers to incorporate ChatGPT as a touchpoint in the customer journey and measure its impact on conversions and return on ad spend (ROAS). In addition, DV and OpenAI are developing a brand suitability evaluation pilot for conversational advertising, allowing advertisers to assess brand risk and suitability in a controlled environment without accessing private conversations. Early results with Weight Watchers showed ChatGPT Ads achieved a cost per acquisition 15.3% below their established benchmark. These capabilities are part of the DV Media AdVantage Platform (DV MAP™), which also includes media verification, AI-powered optimization via DV Scibids AI™, and outcomes measurement through DV Rockerbox™.
Elon Musk to Rename SpaceXAI
Elon Musk has announced that he will rename his AI company SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI, following a presidential decree by Donald Trump that replaces the term 'artificial intelligence' with 'superintelligence' in official US contexts. The decree, issued in late September 2026, aims to rebrand AI as SI, with Trump arguing that 'artificial' makes the technology seem fake. Musk confirmed the change on his platform X. The renaming applies to the company, which was formed after Musk integrated his AI ventures into SpaceX. Other AI companies, including OpenAI, have not yet announced similar changes. California's governor Gavin Newsom has issued an executive order mandating the continued use of 'AI' in official state documents, creating a divergence from federal terminology.
