From asking to doing: How the world is putting ChatGPT to work

OpenAI has released country-by-country data showing how people worldwide use ChatGPT, revealing that the technology is shifting from being used primarily to ask questions toward being used to complete tasks and create things. At work, people are more than twice as likely to use ChatGPT to do tasks like writing, coding, or analysis compared to uses outside work, where exploratory question-asking remains dominant. The data shows adoption is spreading globally, with countries in Latin America, Africa, and Oceania catching up to early adopters, and usage among people over 35 is rising in nearly every country. Multimedia use has become the fastest-growing use case since new capabilities were released, particularly in Latin American countries where more than one in ten messages involve multimedia.
