ChatGPT Surges in Popularity: Latest Insights from OpenAI
OpenAI has reported that ChatGPT users send over 2.5 billion queries every day worldwide, with more than 330 million coming from the United States. Overall, the weekly user base of the platform exceeds 500 million active users, as noted by Axios.
This information was released ahead of CEO Sam Altman's address at the Federal Reserve System conference in Washington, where he will present a new economic analysis prepared by OpenAI's chief economist and share insights on the "democratization" of artificial intelligence — meaning the equitable distribution of economic benefits among the population.
Altman will propose a "third way" between advocates of AI development and those who are concerned about its implications. OpenAI aims not only to prevent concentrated power over AI development in the hands of large corporations but also to ensure access to technologies for the broader public.
Furthermore, U.S. President Donald Trump will speak on artificial intelligence at the Winning the AI Race summit, while the White House will unveil its own 20-page action plan for AI development, advocating a liberal and growth-oriented approach.
OpenAI believes that the key issue is not whether AI will bring economic growth, but who will benefit from it. The company insists that the key to equitable distribution is making AI tools available to as many people as possible.
Additionally, OpenAI continues to enhance ChatGPT, recently launching the ChatGPT Agent — an AI agent capable of managing a computer on behalf of the user.
