[Cumulative Circulation Exceeds 100,000 Copies!] A Book Confronting Anxiety in the AI Era, by Shota Kiuchi, Representative of SHIFT AI

SHIFT AI Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Shota Kiuchi; hereinafter referred to as "our company"), which operates the No.1 user-based generative AI learning community "SHIFT AI" with the mission to make Japan an AI-advanced nation, is pleased to announce that the book by our Representative Director, Shota Kiuchi, titled "I'm an AI Novice, Teach Me How to Not Worry About Work and Money in 10 Years! The Book to Save Myself Even in the Worst Future" (published by KADOKAWA), has surpassed a cumulative circulation of 100,000 copies (including e-books).

This book is an introductory guide that explains how to live and broaden options in the AI era, tailored for those encountering generative AI for the first time or those feeling anxious about work, learning, or their future. It uses simplified language, free of technical jargon, to convey its essence.

Why is the "First Step" into AI Needed Now?

The rapid spread of generative AI has brought about a major turning point in our ways of working and learning.

On the other hand, many people hesitate to take the first step due to psychological barriers such as "AI seems difficult" or "It doesn't concern me," leaving them unsure where to begin.

Against this backdrop, the book carefully explains the basic mechanisms and current state of AI. Furthermore, it concretely outlines the skills and mindsets required in the future society, as well as job and career options in the AI era.

As a result, it has resonated broadly, especially among those encountering generative AI for the first time and those anxious about work, learning, and their future, surpassing a cumulative circulation of 100,000 copies (including e-books).

It has also garnered high support as content easily understandable for beginners, achieving an ★4.3 rating with over 620 reviews on Amazon.co.jp (as of April 2026).

A Message from Representative Shota Kiuchi

The cumulative circulation of this book exceeding 100,000 copies is thanks to each and every reader who picked it up. I sincerely thank you all.

I believe that with the evolution of AI, our ways of working and the skills required will change significantly from now on.

In the coming era, I feel it will become important not to think about "whether AI will take our jobs," but rather how we can contribute value in a society that assumes AI.

However, it is also true that many people, while interested in AI, are unsure of where to begin.

I wrote this book to serve as the first stepping stone for such individuals to engage with AI.

Now that we have reached the milestone of 100,000 cumulative copies, I would be happy if this book can serve as the "first step" in confronting the AI era.
