- Independent workers are using chatgpt to help them work, and then charging more
- Companies are still saving money paying independent workers on employees
- Policies should be reviewed to “support this new way of working”
Independent workers can now gain more thanks to AI, according to a Fiverr investigation compared to independent workers based in the United Kingdom with commercial decision makers in Britain.
The data affirm that one in five business leaders in the United Kingdom is also based on freelancers to fill Ai Kills’s gaps, with two out of five (38%) companies that actively seek workers with experience in AI.
Despite productivity profits, independent workers are seeing from artificial intelligence, many (44%) are charging more for the work driven by AI, increasing their income and at the same time reduces their workloads.
Freelancers are unlocking more money with AI
More than half of independent workers said they could not work without ia; Many can now save several hours per week at work, and some boast that they are saving two full business days every week.
More than two out of five say they can establish their own hours, with about three quarters also establishing their own rates. As a result, almost so many (70%) claim that they are winning more than they were in full -time roles.
It was discovered that Chatgpt was the most popular (70%) tool, with Google (38%), Gemini (33%) and Microsoft co -filter (24%) also widely used.
Despite the considerable increases, a significant proportion of independent workers (36%) expressed concern that AI could eventually automate parts of their role.
Fiverr also explored the change of traditional workers, revealing that most companies (87%) plan to hire independent workers up to 10 times in the next six months. Two out of five companies in the United Kingdom claim to be using more independent workers in 2025 than ever before, with companies that save on average £ 33,000 per month by favoring independent workers to internal employees.
However, with the additional flexibility an increase in financial complications arose, more than half (55%) declared that current fiscal laws deter companies to hire freelancers, and only two out of five (39%) freelancers feel backed by the government.
The reduction of the protections and the rights of the workers has also caused independent workers to have to consider the diversification of their income: 70% now have more than two.
Looking towards the future, there is a clear need for some readjustment to accommodate the patterns of changing workers.
Fiver UK Michele Tropeo country manager summarized: “The portfolio races are moving in the mainstream and become the backbone of the United Kingdom’s workforce.”
“To truly take advantage of this potential, we need modern policies and systems that support this new way of working, not stop it.”
