ChatGPT adoption is spreading rapidly worldwide, with users incorporating it into their daily routines for a broader range of tasks. As people use ChatGPT for longer, they send more messages and try new capabilities, with a 50% increase in daily messages and a doubling of distinct tasks tried after six months. The user base is becoming more global and diverse, with growth in Africa and Asia, and lower-HDI countries seeing the fastest relative growth. Why it matters: this trend signals a significant shift in how AI is being used to benefit people’s lives and work around the world.
