Sergey Brin Pushes for 60-Hour Workweeks to Drive Google's AI Leadership

The Google co-founder emphasizes in-office collaboration and increased effort to compete in the race for artificial general intelligence.

Sergey Brin, Google co-founder, has called for employees to work 60-hour weeks, which he describes as the 'sweet spot of productivity.'
Brin recommends employees work from the office every weekday, discouraging remote work during the workweek.
The memo highlights the need to 'turbocharge efforts' as Google aims to stay ahead of competitors like OpenAI and Microsoft in developing artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Brin encourages engineers to use Google's Gemini AI tools to improve coding efficiency and scientific output.
While Brin's stance aligns with a growing trend of extended work hours in the tech industry, the memo has sparked discussions about work-life balance and employee well-being.
