OpenAI releases Signals data on ChatGPT use for work
Original title: ChatGPT’s expanding world of work
Quarterly aggregates cover individual ChatGPT plans across nearly 100 countries from Q1 2025 through Q3 2026, excluding enterprise and Codex.
OpenAI Economic Research published OpenAI Signals data that maps consumer ChatGPT messages to 165 Intermediate Work Activities from the ONET framework. The quarterly series runs from the first quarter of 2025 through the third quarter of 2026 so researchers can compare countries and match other economic indicators. Classifiers produce aggregated statistics after identifying information is removed; small groups are withheld and noise is added. Enterprise messages and Codex use are excluded.
Unconfirmed: OpenAI says country differences might reflect work mix or AI access, which is not established.
- Across 74 countries, the top 10 activities fell from 56.0% to 51.1% of work messages.
- About 43% of mapped U.S. employment-weighted tasks fall into omitted Other IWAs.
- Researchers cannot read individual conversations; only privacy-protected aggregates are published.
- Cited authors include Chatterji, Cunningham, Deming, Hitzig, Johnston, Richmond, Ong, Shan, and Wadman.
