# [UPDATE] ChatGPT Currently Down, Developer Says It’s Working To Fix It

##### ChatGPT, the popular generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot that has helped millions around the world in generating writing ideas and translation is currently experiencing a global outage.

This was confirmed by its developer OpenAI, who announced in an [X post](https://x.com/OpenAI/status/1867000372826607627) (formerly known as Twitter) after users worldwide reported disruptions.

"We're experiencing an outage right now. We have identified the issue and are working to roll out a fix. Sorry and we'll keep you updated!" it wrote in the post.

Currently, users will be met with a black screen with the words: ***'ChatGPT is currently unavailable. Status: Identified - We have identified the issue and are working to roll out a fix'*** when they head over to ChatGPT's webpage.

Aside from ChatGPT, several of OpenAI's services such as Sora and the API are also facing outages, according to its [status page](https://status.openai.com/).

##### A check by WeirdKaya at 11.35am later showed that ChatGPT's services have been restored and is back to normal.
