Bill Gates Envisions Three-Day Work Week with AI Advancements

Microsoft Co-Founder Advocates for AI-Driven Labor Reduction, Acknowledges Job Displacement Concerns

Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, suggests that advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) could potentially lead to a three-day work week.
Gates believes that AI could take over many tasks currently performed by humans, freeing up labor for more constructive work.
He emphasizes that the purpose of life is not just to work, and that a society where people only have to work three days a week would be acceptable.
Gates acknowledges that job displacement happens with new technologies, but believes it can be beneficial if it proceeds at a reasonable pace and the government helps those who need to learn new skills.
His views echo those of JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, who also predicted a shorter work week due to AI. However, concerns over job security with the rise of AI and automation remain.
