Introduction

ChatGPT has grown from a small AI demo into a mainstream tool in a short time. Reported figures show weekly active users climbed to 400 million in February 2025, then reached roughly 700 million by mid-September 2025; OpenAI CEO Sam Altman later said ChatGPT hit 800 million weekly active users in October 2025. Web traffic data points in the same direction: estimates based on Similarweb put chatgpt.com at about 5.8 to 5.9 billion visits in September 2025, up around 7.6% vs August. Because “users†and “visits†measure different things, they should be read together, not mixed.

In the sections that follow, we pull the most cited indicators of adoption: user growth, traffic trends, revenue (in USD), app downloads, market share, and country-level use, to show where ChatGPT stands and how fast it is expanding.

According to a survey ended March 2025, 28 percent of employed adults in the United States reported using ChatGPT for work-related activities during the analyzed period. Similarly, 26 percent of responding adults stated using the generative artificial intelligence (GAI) software for learning something new, while 22 percent claimed to use it for pure entertainment. However, the increase in ChatGPT usage was more pronounced for professional activities.

ChatGPT is used most widely among those between ** and ** around the world. The youngest group, those under **, are the second largest userbase, and together those under ** account for over ** percent of ChatGPT users. It is perhaps unsurprising that the younger age brackets use the chatbot more than older as that is the common trend with new technologies. Male users were far more numerous than female users, with males representing over ** percent of total users in 2023.

Higher Education Students' Early Perceptions of ChatGPT: Global Survey Data

Description

The introduction of ChatGPT in November 2022 marked a significant milestone in the application of artificial intelligence in higher education. Due to its advanced natural language processing capabilities, ChatGPT quickly became popular among students worldwide. However, the increasing acceptance of ChatGPT among students has attracted significant attention, sparking both excitement and skepticism globally. In order to capture early students' perceptions about ChatGPT, the most comprehensive and large-scale global survey to date was conducted between the beginning of October 2023 and the end of February 2024. The questionnaire was prepared in seven different languages: English, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, Japanese, Arabic, and Hebrew. It covered several aspects relevant to ChatGPT, including sociodemographic characteristics, usage, capabilities, regulation and ethical concerns, satisfaction and attitude, study issues and outcomes, skills development, labor market and skills mismatch, emotions, study and personal information, and general reflections. The survey targeted higher education students who are currently enrolled at any level in a higher education institution, are at least 18 years old, and have the legal capacity to provide free and voluntary consent to participate in an anonymous survey. Survey participants were recruited using a convenience sampling method, which involved promoting the survey in classrooms and through advertisements on university communication systems. The final dataset consists of 23,218 student responses from 109 different countries and territories. The data may prove useful for researchers studying students' perceptions of ChatGPT, including its implications across various aspects. Moreover, also higher education stakeholders may benefit from these data. While educators may benefit from the data in formulating curricula, including designing teaching methods and assessment tools, policymakers may consider the data when formulating strategies for higher education system development in the future.

A major challenge of our time is reducing disparities in access to and effective use of digital technologies, with recent discussions highlighting the role of AI in exacerbating the digital divide. We examine user characteristics that predict usage of the AI-powered conversational agent ChatGPT. We combine behavioral and survey data in a web tracked sample of N=1376 German citizens to investigate differences in ChatGPT activity (usage, visits, and adoption) during the first 11 months from the launch of the service (November 30, 2022). Guided by a model of technology acceptance (UTAUT-2), we examine the role of socio-demographics commonly associated with the digital divide in ChatGPT activity and explore further socio-political attributes identified via stability selection in Lasso regressions. We confirm that lower age and higher education affect ChatGPT usage, but neither gender nor income do. We find full-time employment and more children to be barriers to ChatGPT activity. Using a variety of social media was positively associated with ChatGPT activity. In terms of political variables, political knowledge and political self-efficacy as well as some political behaviors such as voting, debating political issues online and offline and political action online were all associated with ChatGPT activity, with online political debating and political self-efficacy negatively so. Finally, need for cognition and communication skills such as writing, attending meetings, or giving presentations, were also associated with ChatGPT engagement, though chairing/organizing meetings was negatively associated. Our research informs efforts to address digital disparities and promote digital literacy among underserved populations by presenting implications, recommendations, and discussions on ethical and social issues of our findings.

Most Used Features and Usage Statistics By September 2025, ChatGPT boasts ~800 million weekly users and 355 million monthly active users, with 2.6 billion daily messages across 700 million users. It's the #1 AI tool globally (60.6% market share), especially among under-25s (45% of users). Daily usage: 9% of 18-24-year-olds. Top use cases (from OpenAI's 2025 user study):
