ChatGPT Not Yet in Daily PR/Marketing
Generative AI tools like ChatGPT promise to streamline PR and marketing, but usage remains limited. An analysis by René Weber and market research firm Civey (June–August 2023) found that only about 9% of PR and marketing professionals use Gen AI regularly, with widespread hype not yet translating into routine workplace adoption. The study notes that professionals recognize AI potential and that productivity gains have been observed in research, including MIT-led findings showing ChatGPT can boost productivity by up to 40%. OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Enterprise for enterprise use, and Google has made Duet AI available in Workspace for all users, signaling increased enterprise AI integration. Bloomberg projects the generative AI market could reach $1.3 trillion by 2032, from roughly $40 billion in 2022. The piece also cites policy and industry voices (e.g., Hubertus Heil, Niklas Veltkamp) and emphasizes training in prompting and governance for responsible use.

Unlocking GPT-5: Transforming the Future of Work
OpenAI published a January 22, 2026 report summarizing ChatGPT usage and adoption patterns in the workplace. The analysis combines OpenAI’s anonymized, aggregated usage data with independent third‑party studies and peer‑reviewed research. Findings show rapid, broad adoption — OpenAI reports over 700 million weekly active users and usage by more than a quarter of U.S. workers (45% among those with postgraduate degrees). Early workplace tasks cluster around writing, research, programming and analysis, with technical teams driving heavier usage of advanced features. The report notes advanced capabilities remain underused and highlights GPT‑5 features (including a real‑time router) that aim to surface appropriate tools automatically. Cited external studies report productivity gains (e.g., >3 hours saved per week; higher quality outputs). OpenAI frames ChatGPT as evolving toward an “operating system” for work that could reshape workflows across functions.
ChatGPT Falls Below 50% Market Share
Sensor Tower's "State of AI 2026" report shows ChatGPT's share of global chatbot usage declining: after peaking above 80% in early 2024 and holding 60.1% in January 2025, ChatGPT had 46.6% market share in May 2026. Google’s Gemini reached 27.7% in May 2026, while Anthropic’s Claude rose from under 3% in January 2025 to over 10% by May 2026. Sensor Tower attributes the shifts to users increasingly switching between AI chatbots, company decisions (including controversy around OpenAI’s government deal that coincided with a spike in ChatGPT uninstallations), and intensified marketing: global time spent with AI tools is projected to exceed 36 billion hours in H1 2026 versus 17.2 billion hours in H1 2025, and US advertising budgets for AI have roughly tripled.
US Government Excludes Microsoft from Visa Program
The US government has barred Microsoft from participating in the permanent residency process for foreign workers with H-1B visas, accusing the company of abusing the program. Vice President JD Vance stated that Microsoft laid off 6,000 American employees last year while benefiting from 6,300 H-1B visa holders. The Department of Labor, led by Keith Sonderling, will not accept new permanent residency applications from Microsoft, as well as several consulting firms and Adobe. This action comes weeks before the midterm elections and reflects the Trump administration's broader criticism of the H-1B program, which it claims disadvantages American workers. Microsoft has not yet responded. The move could impact the tech industry's ability to retain skilled foreign talent.
