A survey by Axis Consulting Corporation on the use of AI found that accuracy was the top concern, cited by 49.4% of respondents, while checking outputs and quality control were the most common newly arising tasks, at 40.8%.
Axis Consulting Corporation conducted a survey titled “Survey on the Current State of Challenges and New Tasks and Roles in the Use of AI” among employed people in their 20s to 60s nationwide and published the results, with 603 of the 647 respondents included in the primary analysis. The survey was conducted online from 11 to 12 September 2026.
Accuracy ranked first among concerns and challenges related to the use of AI, at 49.4%, followed by information leakage at 41.8%, declining decision-making ability at 31.2%, and copyright and other rights-related issues at 30.7%. By contrast, only 5.8% said that part of their own work would be replaced.
Among tasks and roles that had newly arisen through the use of AI, checking outputs and quality control ranked first at 40.8%, followed by information management and rule development at 30.5%, giving instructions to AI and designing its use at 27.2%, business improvement using AI at 24.2%, and promoting AI adoption and providing training internally at 11.1%. These findings suggest that AI creates new roles, including output verification, rule development, and use-case design.
Regarding the relationship between concerns and new tasks, “giving instructions to AI and designing its use” arose for 41.9% of those concerned about accuracy, compared with only 12.8% of those who were not concerned, indicating a difference between the two groups. Among those concerned about information leakage, 58.7% tended to have experience checking outputs and performing quality control, while among those concerned about copyright, 48.1% tended to have experience in information management and rule development.
