OpenAI reported that using ChatGPT allows employees to reduce their work time by an average of 40–60 minutes per day. These figures are based on a survey of more than 9,000 workers from 100 companies.
Who is saving time
The biggest time savings are reported by engineers, communications specialists, IT professionals and accountants. Three quarters of respondents said the tool increases the speed or quality of their work.
The report also points to an expansion in the scope of AI use: employees without technical education who work in engineering, IT, or research units are increasingly turning to ChatGPT for help with writing code. Over the past six months the number of such requests has risen by 36%.
Scale of use
According to the company, more than one million organizations are already paying for enterprise products based on ChatGPT, and the total number of subscribers is about seven million. OpenAI reports rapid growth in business adoption.
Recently the company disabled app prompts in ChatGPT following user complaints and plans to train the model to acknowledge errors and instruction violations.
