DNVN - Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, recently revealed that the artificial intelligence application ChatGPT now has more than 300 million weekly users, up from 200 million users at the end of August 2024.
Known as one of the most advanced artificial intelligences in the world, ChatGPT is a chatbot that can clearly answer any question from users on any field. Since its launch, many users have switched to chatting directly with ChatGPT to look up information instead of using Google. With its multi-disciplinary understanding, this tool can provide answers in just a few seconds.
Since late 2022, ChatGPT has been riding the wave of generative AI adoption and quickly reached 100 million weekly users by early 2023. From there, it took the platform just over a year to reach 200 million users and just three more months to reach the current 300 million mark.
Experts say this growth is driven by OpenAI attracting large investments from leading technology corporations and increasing the number of companies using the platform. According to Sam Altman, OpenAI's next goal is to reach 1 billion weekly active users next year.
To achieve this ambition, OpenAI faces fierce competition from rivals like Amazon-backed Anthropic AI and Elon Musk’s xAI, which Altman called “a formidable competitor.” At the same time, OpenAI is battling giants like Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon in a generative AI market that is expected to reach $1 trillion in the next decade.
On December 3, OpenAI announced the appointment of Kate Rouch, former chief marketing officer of Coinbase, as the company's first chief marketing officer. The move underscores the company's plans to ramp up its marketing efforts to expand its user base. Earlier in October, OpenAI launched a search feature on ChatGPT to compete directly with Google, Microsoft Bing, and Perplexity AI.
Sam Altman also denied the accusation that OpenAI prohibits investors from investing in competitors. He asserted that investors are not allowed access to OpenAI's internal information, including development roadmaps and other important documents.
