Jakarta –
Artificial intelligence (AI) maybe it can’t replace humans, but at least it can cut working hours to three days a week. At least that’s what was predicted by Bill Gates.
Gates recently guested on the podcast ‘What Now?’ hosted by comedian Trevor Noah. When Noah asked about the threat of AI to human work, Gates answered that AI could help humans not work too hard.
“If in the end you succeed in creating a society where you only have to work three days a week, maybe that won’t be a problem,” said Gates, as quoted by Business Insider, Sunday (26/11/2023).
The Microsoft leader also envisions a world where machines can make food and other things, while humans don’t need to work five days a week to earn a decent wage.
To Noah, Gates said that his life was busy with Microsoft from the age of 18 to 40. Now the bespectacled man says his life goal is not just about work.
Gates’ prediction is quite interesting considering that he previously called for the dangers of AI. Last July, Gates uploaded a 3,000 word blog post about the potential impact of AI.
But Gates isn’t the only businessman predicting shorter working hours in the AI era. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has previously said the next generation of employees will only need to work 3.5 days a week thanks to AI.
“Your kids will live to be 100 years old and not get cancer because of technology and they will probably work t3.5 days a week,” Dimon told Bloomberg.
A number of companies in the United States and other countries have started testing four-day working weeks. Several trials conducted showed improvements in efficiency and work-life balance.
