Overview
- OpenAI reports more than 1 million enterprise customers, eightfold year‑over‑year growth in ChatGPT messages and user‑reported time savings of 40–60 minutes per day, with cases such as BBVA’s legal chatbot automating thousands of reviews.
- Microsoft’s analysis of 37.5 million Copilot chats finds clear patterns by device and time, with health queries dominating on mobile and work topics prevailing on desktops during business hours, plus spikes tied to cultural calendars.
- Consumer usage remains concentrated as ChatGPT surpasses 600 million active users and is reported to hold about 81.85% of the global chatbot market share.
- Education systems are adjusting unevenly: a Córdoba survey shows 80.3% of secondary students use AI weekly as many schools restrict or lack clear policies, while Peru’s USIL launches a dedicated Faculty of Engineering and Artificial Intelligence.
- New deployments and warnings advance in parallel, with Argentine public‑sector tools—from Malbrán’s Listeria detection algorithm to Escobar’s ‘Flora’ chatbot—expanding use, as OpenAI’s GDPval flags high exposure for routine roles and experts caution against relying on chatbots for factual search or ignoring broader economic impacts.
