A groundbreaking scientific study, relying for the first time on OpenAI's internal data, dissects 2.6 billion daily messages and reveals surprising trends about the real use of ChatGPT, challenging preconceived ideas about the adoption of conversational AI.

Decentralized exchanges (DEX) continue their rapid rise. Last week, they generated over $171.26 billion in spot volume, a 21% increase in just seven days.

Artificial intelligence is no longer an option for leaders; it has become an extension of their executive brain. While many employees fear that AI will eliminate their jobs, CEOs use it as a strategic lever to stay competitive.

Concrete evidence that, even at the top, AI is not a gadget but a tool for professional survival.
