Survey Results on the Use of Generative AI in Work

On December 17, 2025, Interg Inc., based in Minato, Tokyo, released findings from a survey assessing the use and perceptions of generative AI among young professionals (ages 20–30). The study surveyed 535 respondents and uncovered various insights into how generative AI is influencing the work environment.

Key Findings

The survey revealed that approximately 39% of young professionals use generative AI in their work at least once a week, engaging it for a variety of tasks, including data collection and document creation. However, there is also a noticeable trend where generative AI is being used for more complex tasks, including problem-solving that requires specialized knowledge. This indicates a broadening of AI’s role in the workplace, going beyond basic, routine functions.

Despite the increasing utilization of AI, only about 27% of the respondents reported that their companies provide sufficient education around its use. Alarmingly, nearly 73% either do not provide training or are unable to do so adequately. This gap highlights a potential risk of 'invisible' AI use, where individuals leverage generative AI without the company's knowledge, raising concerns about issues like information confidentiality and the clarity of source material.

As Interg pushes forward with AI training for all employees, Ryo Nakamura from their Culture Design & Promotion Department shared, "Utilizing generative AI not only enhances operational efficiency but also intertwines with corporate risk. Instead of being fearful of these risks, it's essential to establish a support system that allows each team member to leverage AI confidently for their growth."

Insights from the Survey

1. Prevalent Use of Generative AI: 39% of respondents utilize generative AI in their jobs weekly, signaling a prominent trend among young professionals.
2. Lack of Educational Support: Only 5% confirmed adequate training in generative AI from their employers, with the majority lacking any significant educational resources.
3. AI as a Collaborative Partner: Generative AI is often the first choice individuals turn to for help with knowledge gaps (21%), closely following their superiors (25%). The areas of application are evolving, from typical tasks (20%) to more advanced problem-solving (19%) and creative brainstorming (13%).
4. Non-Disclosure of Use: An alarming 59% admitted they do not disclose their AI use when submitting work outputs, which might lead to risks like information leaks and unclear references—concerns that have rarely been addressed.
5. Optimism for the Future: 35% of users believe that advancements in generative AI will bring new opportunities for career advancement, which is nearly double the expectation of those who do not use AI. Conversely, educational initiatives seem to exacerbate anxiety about AI, highlighting the need for practical and supportive implementation rather than merely theoretical training.

Methodology of the Survey

Conducted between November 11 and November 14, 2025, the survey utilized the QiQUMO platform to gather responses from a diverse group of young professionals across Japan. It focused on various aspects of generative AI use and its implications for the professional landscape.
