Exploring the Surge in ChatGPT Usage

OpenAI has reported that users of ChatGPT generate over 2.5 billion queries daily across the globe, with more than 330 million coming from the United States alone. The platform boasts a weekly active user base exceeding 500 million. This was reported by Axios.

This data was released ahead of CEO Sam Altman's speech at the Federal Reserve System conference in Washington, where he will present a new economic analysis prepared by OpenAI's chief economist and discuss the "democratization" of artificial intelligence, which aims for an equitable distribution of economic benefits among the population.

Altman will propose a "third way" between advocates of AI development and those who fear its implications. OpenAI seeks to prevent concentrated power over AI development in the hands of large corporations while ensuring access to technology for the broader public.

Additionally, U.S. President Donald Trump will speak at the Winning the AI Race summit, and the White House will unveil its own 20-page action plan for AI development, which will adopt a liberal and growth-oriented approach.

According to OpenAI, the core question is not whether AI will generate 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.

Recently, OpenAI has also been advancing ChatGPT by launching the ChatGPT Agent – an AI agent capable of operating a computer on behalf of the user.
