The freelancers are now able to earn more thanks to AI, according to Fiverr research comparing British freelancers with commercial decision-makers in Great Britain.
The data say that out of five business leaders are also based on freelancers to fill the AI kills gaps, with two out of five companies (38%) to actively research workers with IA expertise.
Despite the productivity gains that the freelancers see from artificial intelligence, many (44%) invoice more for AI work, increasing their income while simultaneously reducing their workloads.
Freelancers unlock more money with AI
More than half of the freelancers interviewed said they would not be able to work without AI – many can now save several hours a week on their work, with some boasting that they save two complete working days each week.
More than two out of five say they are able to define their own hours, with approximately three -quarters which also fix their own prices. Almost as much (70%) claim to earn more than they were full time.
Chatgpt has proven to be the most popular tool (70%), with Google (38%), Gemini (33%) and Microsoft Copilot (24%) also widely used.
Despite considerable increases, a significant proportion of freelancers (36%) expressed its concerns that AI could possibly automate certain parts of their role.
Fiverr has also explored the gap of traditional workers, revealing that most companies (87%) plan to hire independents up to 10 times in the next six months. Two out of five British companies claim to use more freelancers in 2025 than ever, companies save an average of £ 33,000 per month by promoting freelancers compared to internal employees.
However, with additional flexibility, increased financial complications – more than half (55%) said that current tax laws dissuade companies from hiring freelancers and that two out of five independents (39%) feel supported by the government.
The protections and reduced rights of workers also made that freelancers should consider diversifying their income – 70% now have more than two.
For the future, it is clear that certain readjustments are made to adapt to the models of changing workers.
The director of the country of Fiverr UK, Michele Tropeano, summed up: “The wallet careers move dominant and become the backbone of the British labor.”
“To really exploit this potential, we need modern policies and systems that support this new way of working, not to hold it back.”
