"Will AI take away jobs that even I, an inexperienced person, can do?" — Amidst the remarkable evolution of AI, women who are about to start remote work are expressing concerns. Ms.Academy, a career community for women, conducted a "Survey on PC-based Work and AI Utilization" targeting 109 women who are currently earning continuous income through PC-based remote work. As a result, it became clear that while the majority of them initially feared AI, over 80% now skillfully utilize generative AI as an "excellent assistant," significantly shortening their limited work hours. This article introduces the survey results along with three key points for inexperienced individuals to work smartly by making AI their ally. ■ Survey Summary ・Approximately 50% of remote workers were anxious about "AI taking their jobs" when they were inexperienced. ・Currently, about 80% utilize ChatGPT and Gemini as assistants for "editing" and "composition creation." ・They experience time savings and quality improvement through AI use, wisely earning income with "3-4 hours" of work per day. [Asked 109 People] Survey on the Reality of Women Earning Over 50,000 Yen Per Month in Remote Work This survey was conducted on 109 women who are currently earning continuous income of 50,000 yen or more per month through PC-based remote work. Respondents in their 30s and 40s accounted for approximately 70% (71.5%), and over half (54.1%) are raising children. Regarding current employment status, "remote freelancer/contractor (38.5%)" was the most common, but many also included "full-time employees with office attendance (23.9%)" and "part-time/casual workers (16.5%)," indicating that they are wisely utilizing their main job and childcare gaps to generate income. [Reality] "Will My Job Disappear?" The Anxiety Towards AI Held by the Majority When asked if they had ever felt anxious about "AI taking their jobs" when they were inexperienced, the majority (53.2%) of women answered "yes." However, looking at the reality of those who are currently earning stable income, a surprising 83.5% regularly use "ChatGPT/Gemini," and 21.1% use "Canva's AI features." AI is not an enemy that takes away jobs, but has become firmly established as an "indispensable tool" supporting their remote work. [Real AI Usage] Not Delegation, but an "Excellent Assistant" Reducing Work Time by 20-30% How exactly are they utilizing AI? "Objective editing and brushing up of self-created texts and designs (47.7%)" and "research and composition creation (41.3%)" were the top responses. As a result, approximately 90% of women feel the benefits of AI, with responses such as "work time reduced by about 20-30% (36.7%)" and "reduced by half or more (17.4%)." This highlights the smart reality of them utilizing AI within a limited "3-4 hours per day (41.3%)" to effectively increase their work efficiency (hourly rate). ・"Initially, I was worried that AI would take my job, but now it's an indispensable partner for editing my writing and brainstorming ideas for composition." ・"By entrusting research and composition creation to AI, my work time has been cut by more than half, and my psychological burden has also significantly decreased." [Insights from AI User Data] 3 Points for Inexperienced Individuals to Avoid Failure So, for those who want to start working remotely, what specific actions should they take? We will share points on how to start "AI × home work" that can be used from today, derived from data of successful web-based remote workers. Point 1: Don't "leave everything to AI," but make it a "partner for drawing out ideas." There's no need to have AI perform advanced programming. What successful individuals do is "edit" their own writing and "brainstorm ideas" before starting from scratch. By placing AI next to you as an "excellent assistant" instead of entrusting everything to it, you can dramatically reduce the anxiety unique to inexperienced individuals, such as "Is this correct?" and your work time. Point 2: Don't be swayed by "easy money," but focus on "in-demand fundamental skills." Over half (54.1%) responded that the most important thing for stable earning is "a combination of 'fundamental skills' like web design and writing, and 'AI.'" Instead of being swept away by fleeting trends like "earning with just a smartphone," acquiring one classic skill first is ultimately the shortest path. Point 3: Reduce time spent worrying alone and rely on professional "correct procedures." When trying to learn a classic skill, about half (47.7%) encountered the barrier of "not knowing where to start (correct information)." In today's world, where know-how overflows online, continuously researching on your own can lead to a state of "freezing due to too many options." Before your actions stop, jumping into an environment that teaches the correct procedures is the key to preventing setbacks. [Towards a New Way of Working] Make AI Your Ally and Regain Peace of Mind By following these points, women who have achieved stable work styles are gathering joyful voices about changes in their lives. In the survey, over 40% responded that "having my own money created peace of mind." 1. "Having 'my own money' independent of my husband's income has brought great peace of mind and confidence." 2. "Being able to work remotely has reduced stress from balancing work and family, and from human relationships." 3. "The happiest change is no longer having to worry too much about prices when shopping at the supermarket or eating out." The AI era is not a crisis for inexperienced individuals, but the "greatest opportunity" to redefine their potential. By learning classic skills and skillfully utilizing AI as an assistant, the range of what you "can do" will expand significantly, reaching areas you couldn't reach alone. Why not open the door to a new career from here? The AI Era is the Greatest Opportunity for Inexperienced Individuals to Achieve a "Work Style That Suits Them" What this survey revealed is that women who are earning stable income through remote work are not afraid of AI, but are utilizing it as a "strong assistant" that helps them. It would be a waste to avoid AI as unnecessary and close off your own possibilities. The important thing is not to be swayed by the latest tools, but to learn the classic fundamentals and master AI as an "assistant" to expand your capabilities. Even the anxiety of "Can I do this?" can turn into a weapon that helps you by learning in the right environment. We encourage you to take a step towards a new way of working with AI as your ally.
