Hundreds of millions of people use ChatGPT.
A new report from OpenAI shows which states in the US are adopting it the fastest.
The list may not be what you expect — take a look.
Which states are adopting ChatGPT the fastest? You might be surprised.
OpenAI, the maker of the AI chatbot, released a report on Tuesday on ChatGPT’s impact on the economy and worker productivity. Among its key findings was a map showing the 15 states adopting ChatGPT the fastest.
OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment about its methodology for the ranking. The report, however, says its data, including that on state adoption and other findings, comes from “millions of anonymized and aggregated real‑world ChatGPT conversations in the US along with economic studies, external surveys, and forecasts to assess the potential for AI to contribute to US economic growth.”

The report also puts in perspective the sheer volume of messages ChatGPT fields each day
According to the report, more than half a billion people worldwide use OpenAI’s AI products, including ChatGPT, sending more than 2.5 billion messages to the platform per day. Of those messages, more than 330 million come from the US.
ChatGPT had a meteoric launch. After it debuted in November 2022, it racked up its first million users in under a week and hit the 100 million milestone in two months.
OpenAI has since launched several other models.
