a16z says Codex AI user growth has accelerated outside the tech sector since February

Data released by Andreessen Horowitz, or a16z, shows that Codex, an AI product, has seen rapid user growth across non-technology industries since February. The sharpest increase came from the legal sector, where users rose 108x. Sales and recruiting each posted 41x growth, while marketing increased 26x and healthcare climbed 24x. The figures point to faster adoption of AI tools in more traditional parts of the economy, rather than growth remaining concentrated in core technology fields alone. The dataset was cited by Techub and attributed to a16z.
