According to the data, 0.15% of ChatGPT's active users in a given week have conversations that include explicit indicators of potential suicidal planning or intent, which translates to over a million people weekly, given the platform's 800 million weekly active users.

These types of conversations in ChatGPT are "extremely rare," and thus difficult to measure.
