Bill Gates says a 3-day work week where 'machines can make all the food and stuff' isn't a bad idea, per BI.
Bill Gates envisions the possibility of a 3-day work week made feasible by technology, according to his recent appearance on Trevor Noah's "What Now?" podcast.
Discussing the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs, Gates expressed the idea that a future society might require fewer workdays, emphasizing that if machines could handle most production, individuals wouldn't need to adhere to a traditional five-day work week. While acknowledging the positive changes AI could bring, Gates has also highlighted the risks and impact if the technology is misused.
The concept of a shorter work week has been echoed by other business leaders, with JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon predicting a 3.5-day work week for the next generation due to AI. Gates, who once considered sleep as laziness, emphasized that life's purpose goes beyond jobs, reflecting a shift in perspective from his earlier years focused on Microsoft. S
ome companies globally have experimented with a four-day work week, reporting improved work-life balance and efficiency.
