OpenAI: AI agents take on bigger share of work at Korean firms

OpenAI reports that AI agents are assuming a greater role in the tasks of Korean businesses as the adoption of its workplace and coding tools expands. The usage of its ChatGPT Enterprise among local companies and institutions has surged approximately 28-fold within the past year, according to Kim Kyoung-hoon, the General Manager of OpenAI Korea.

In a press conference marking the company's first anniversary in Seoul, Kim stated that while human intervention was once prevalent when assigning tasks to AI, the company now trusts the technology to handle more intricate responsibilities. The number of weekly active users of ChatGPT Work and the coding agent Codex has increased about 14 times in the six months since March.

As of August, Work and Codex accounted for 64 percent of the output tokens generated by Korean users across ChatGPT's products, despite having a smaller user base than other services.
