Among 114 SME workers nationwide, 87.7% of generative AI users said they feel strong anxiety about entering confidential information, while only 11.4% have a system that automatically detects and masks it. In the Chugoku region, 43.3% of 150 IT implementation staff said there is no personnel or structure to promote AI/DX.
