daveholtz · x · 2026-08-14
A working paper by visiting researchers at OpenAI analyzes over 17 million ChatGPT Enterprise messages from more than 1,500 organizations to document real-world generative AI adoption.
By linking account records with worker roles, task classifications, and public financial data, the study provides a privacy-preserving, large-scale assessment. Key findings include:
- Growth Drivers: Rapid usage growth is driven by a combination of new firm adoption and increasing usage intensity among existing adopters.
- Adoption Profile: Adoption among U.S.-based public companies is concentrated in larger, more profitable firms.
- Task Distribution: The data reveals specific patterns of how workers integrate AI into their daily tasks.
