This morning, the OpenAI Economic Research team and our co-author Professor David Deming (Harvard University) released a first-of-its-kind research paper on how ChatGPT is being used across the world. This is very exciting for me personally because one of the reasons I joined OpenAI was to produce research on how AI is changing our economy and society.

The paper is officially a National Bureau of Economic Research working paper (https://lnkd.in/gPDB3fuq) which means it will contribute to the conversation among leading economists as well as the broader discussion of AI in the media.

I’ll be sharing takeaways from the paper on an ongoing basis. One early finding: our user base has shifted over time to better reflect the broader population. For example, just after ChatGPT launched, about 80% of users had typically masculine names. Today, that share is closer to 50%.
