Dave Holtz, a visiting economics researcher at OpenAI, shared a new working paper analyzing over 17 million messages from workers across 1,500+ organizations. The study documents how organizations practically use generative AI.
The research reveals that AI diffusion is rapid but highly uneven. Firms differ in adoption timing, workers vary in usage intensity, and organizations are still discovering where AI fits into everyday workflows.
