What do foreigners call AI

Of the AI users around the world. Can you give me a list of what percent of human languages that chat with AI? In other words. What percentage of the worlds population chat with AI in English, Chinese, Korean, French, German, Hindi, Thai, Farsi, Arabic, Turkish, Tagalog and so on. I would like a complete breakdown of this statistic, including all the languages, I did not mention.
ChatGPT-4o Said:
Here’s the most reliable breakdown we can derive as of mid‑2025, based on available data—since specific “chats with AI by language” stats aren’t publicly tracked, we’ll use closest proxies: internet user distribution and country-level AI adoption, blended with known language support in ChatGPT.
🌐 Global AI Chatting by Language
📊 1. Internet Users by Language (2020 baseline)
InternetWorldStats (as of March 31, 2020) reported: Wikipedia
Language | Users (billions) | % of Internet Users |
---|---|---|
English | 1.186 billion | 25.9% |
Chinese | 0.888 billion | 19.4% |
Spanish | 0.364 billion | 7.9% |

Russian | 0.116 billion | 2.5% |
German | 0.093 billion | 2.0% |
Others | ≈1.06 billion | 23.1% |
Total | 4.586 billion | 100% |
This gives us a broad, language-based snapshot of potential AI users.

🧩 Suggestive Language Breakdown (Estimated Chat Share)
Combining internet-language share + AI adoption signals, here’s an indicative estimate for global AI-chat usage, not precise but directional:
Language | % of Internet Users (2020) | Estimated Share of AI Chats |
---|---|---|
English | 25.9% | 28–30% |
Chinese | 19.4% | 18–20% |
Spanish | 7.9% | 8–9% |
Arabic | 5.2% | 5–6% |
Hindi | (Grouped under others) | ~5–7% (India heavy) |
Portuguese | 3.7% | 3–4% |
French | 3.3% | 3–4% |
German | 2.0% | 4–5% (Germany heavy) |
Japanese | 2.6% | 2–3% |
Russian | 2.5% | 2–3% |
Indonesian | 4.3% | 3–4% |
Other Languages (including Korean, Turkish, Thai, Farsi, Tagalog, etc.) | ~20% | ~20–25% |
📝 Explanation & Caveats
- These figures are estimates, derived by correlating internet-language prevalence with country-level AI usage.
- No public data directly measures “chatting with AI per language”.
- ChatGPT supports ~95 languages, but usage is skewed toward high‑resource languages.
- Emerging data (e.g., Chinese survey at 83% engagement) shows regional variations in AI adoption Digital Silk.
✅ Summary Takeaway
- English & Chinese together likely account for ~50% of AI chatbot conversations.
- Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, and German individually cover 3–9% each.
- The rest of the world’s languages collectively account for ~20–25% of AI chat interactions.
📌 Final Thoughts
- If you're looking for ongoing, granular, language-level AI usage stats, they likely come from internal platform analytics—not publicly available.
- For now, these estimates are your best approximation from openly accessible proxies.

Not yet, I'm just exploring ideas for now. I have a few more questions. I noticed that the French call this technology "intelligence artificielle" and the Germans call it "künstliche Intelligenz" So, then do they also call it AI? or... do French call it "IA"? do the Germans call it "KI"?
ChatGPT said:
Great question — and yes, you're absolutely right to notice this linguistic twist. Here's the quick breakdown:
🇫🇷 French
- The term is intelligence artificielle
- Acronym: IA
✅ Common usage in French tech media, education, and conversation
🧠 Example: “Les progrès de l’IA sont incroyables.”
So: AI → IA in French
🇩🇪 German
- The term is künstliche Intelligenz
- Acronym: KI
✅ Extremely common in German-speaking countries
🧠 Example: “Die Entwicklung von KI verändert die Arbeitswelt.”
So: AI → KI in German
✅ Summary Table
Language | Term | Acronym |
---|---|---|
English | Artificial Intelligence | AI |
French | Intelligence Artificielle | IA |
German | Künstliche Intelligenz | KI |
These localized acronyms are widely understood and used by native speakers. So if you’re building localized tags, search filters, or even domain variants, it makes sense to use:
#IA
for French content#KI
for German content
Let me know if you want a similar rundown for Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, or others.
