How people are using GenAI chatbots: Evidence from web traffic data
OECD evidence on real-world GenAI chatbot adoption patterns can ground Australian agency assumptions about workforce AI use.
Key points
- OECD analysis uses Similarweb web traffic data to map how people use GenAI chatbots across countries and demographics.
- Cross-country usage patterns could inform Australian evidence-based AI policy and workforce uplift assumptions.
- Extracted text is a stub - full analytical substance requires reading the underlying OECD post directly.
Implications for Australian agencies
- Monitor Strategy and workforce teams may want to review the full OECD analysis for empirical data on adoption patterns that could inform Australian AI capability uplift planning.
Implications are AI-generated. Starting points, not advice — see methodology for how they're framed.

The OECD AI Wonk Blog has published new analysis examining how people use generative AI chatbots, drawing on web traffic data from Similarweb to compare usage patterns across countries and demographic groups. The item is represented here only as a short abstract; the full analysis sits at the linked OECD post. For APS practitioners, cross-country behavioural data of this kind can usefully inform evidence bases for AI strategy documents, workforce capability planning, and assessments of public AI adoption rates.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Monitor] Strategy and workforce teams may want to review the full OECD analysis for empirical data on adoption patterns that could inform Australian AI capability uplift planning.
