Generative AI is expected to influence the use of human resources for about half of the surveyed companies, including potential shifts in personnel and hiring freezes, particularly among larger firms.
A significant number of large companies, particularly those with at least 100 million yen ($627,000) in capital, anticipate shifting their workforce due to the efficiencies introduced by AI.
Sixteen percent of companies with generative AI plans foresee a potential reduction in the total employee count over the next five years.
Less than 5 percent of companies consider seeking early retirement for white-collar workers, as AI’s impact is projected to be most notable among large companies’ white-collar employees.
Tokyo Shoko Research surveyed 6,327 companies, with 34 percent overall (and 59 percent of large companies) promoting the use of generative AI in business operations.
This marks a considerable increase in AI use compared to a similar survey conducted just a year prior, indicating accelerated adoption of generative AI in the workplace.
