Bill Gates believes the future of work could look radically different — and it may only require a two-day work week, thanks to AI.
Speaking on the The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Gates posed a hypothetical question: “What will jobs look like in the future? Should we work just two or three days a week?”
For Gates, the technological shift could be transformative. AI, he believes, has the potential to solve many global challenges, such as shortages of healthcare professionals and mental health experts. This would inevitably reshape the job market and ultimately transform the way we think about intelligence. However, tech productivity has, in some instances, made employees’ work days longer.
