Summary
AI is moving from something people ask to something they put to work. For the first time, OpenAI is publishing country-by-country data showing how people around the world use ChatGPT. From asking to doing: At work, people are more than twice as likely to use ChatGPT to complete a task or create something, from writing and coding to analysis, than they are outside work. AI adoption is becoming more global: Countries across Latin America, Africa, and Oceania are catching up to early adopters, narrowing the global adoption gap. AI is moving beyond text: Multimedia is the fastest-growing use case globally, accounting for 7.8% of messages and more than one in ten in countries including Brazil and Colombia.
