Uber is giving ChatGPT Work to its whole global workforce of about 30,000 people. The company announced the move with OpenAI on Thursday.
ChatGPT Work came out in July. It is a version of ChatGPT built for companies, and teams can set it up to handle work tasks.
Uber first tested it with 1,000 employees. About 80% of those early users were not engineers. They used it to study operations data, translate training materials, and build dashboards for daily work.
๐ The Backstory
AI assistants started as chat tools for writing and quick questions. Making them useful at work took longer. Companies needed control over their data and ways to plug the AI into their own systems.
Uber's plan is to hand out the tool and let teams find uses. Earlier this year, Uber put 30 AI engineers with different teams for two weeks to automate parts of their jobs.
Uber did not say what the rollout costs. It said it will track how workers use the tool.
๐ฏ Why It Matters
When a company this big gives AI to everyone, it becomes a real test of whether AI saves time at work or just adds another tab.
