ChatGPT, the chatbot created by OpenAI that took the world by storm earlier this year, has seen an upswing in usage amongst U.S. corporations, a new survey has found.
According to a Reuters/Ipsos survey conducted between July 11 and July 17, 28% of responders said they have regularly used ChatGPT at work. Conversely 22% of respondents said their companies explicitly allowed the use of such tools.
A story associated with the survey reported that some U.S. employees at Tinder parent Match ( MTCH ) have used ChatGPT for so-called "harmless tasks," such as writing emails, creating calendar invites and "general research."
A Coca-Cola ( KO ) spokesperson told the news outlet that it is embracing ChatGPT and other generative AI solutions, while a Procter & Gamble ( PG ) employee said it is "completely banned."
OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, is backed in part by billions of dollars in investment from Microsoft ( NASDAQ: MSFT ). Microsoft has incorporated the technology into many of its products, including search, its web browser and many other software and services.
On the other hand, 10% of respondents said artificial intelligence tools were explicitly banned by their bosses, while 25% said they were unsure if the technology was allowed to be used.
The survey polled 2,625 adults across the U.S. and has a 2% margin of error.
