OpenAI releases OpenAI Signals v3.0, data linking work use of ChatGPT to occupational classifications — it mapped work-related messages from consumer plans onto 165 intermediate work activities (IWAs) in about 100 countries and published the result quarter by quarter from Q1 2025 to Q3 2026. Business messages and Codex use are left out, and it said the classification is done by an automated system after identifying information is removed, with statistical noise added to the aggregates
Why it matters
By the company's own aggregation, across the 74 countries observed in every quarter the share of classified work messages taken by the 10 most common activities fell from an average of 56.0% in Q1 2025 to 51.1% in Q3 2026, which it explained as work use being less concentrated in a few activities. It also wrote that set against the task mix of U.S. occupations, about 43% falls into other IWAs once weighted by employment, so the two distributions differ widely — this is a lab producing and publishing the input data for labor-impact research itself, and so the limitation that the sample is that lab's own users stays in the data
