The Microsoft co-founder is convinced that one day there may come a time when people don't have to work so hard.
Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Bill Gates believes that the development of artificial intelligence will allow people to switch to a three-day work week.
Gates said this during the What Now podcast, Business Insider reports.
According to Gates, AI technologies will not replace people, but they can make a three-day workweek possible.
When the billionaire was asked about the threat of AI to jobs, Gates said that one day there might come a time when people “don't have to work so hard.”
“If you end up with a society where you only have to work three days a week, that would probably be a good thing,” the billionaire said.
According to Gates, in the future, perhaps “machines will be able to produce all the food and stuff” and people won't have to work more than five days a week to earn a living wage.
“I don't think the impact of AI will be as big as the Industrial Revolution, but it will certainly be as big as the personal computer. Word processors didn't end office work, but they changed it forever,” he added. He.
Let us remind you that the four-day work week is gaining popularity around the world.
