From asking to doing: How the world is putting ChatGPT to work

ChatGPT usage is expanding globally beyond just answering questions to completing practical tasks like writing, coding, and analysis, especially in work settings where users are twice as likely to use it for "doing" rather than "asking." The adoption gap is narrowing as countries in Latin America, Africa, and Oceania are catching up to early adopters, and multimedia use (generating or analyzing images and videos) is growing fastest at 7.8% of all messages worldwide.
