Jeff Bezos: AI Will Reduce the Work Week to Three Days

The Amazon founder believes that in the future, AI will allow workers to support their families by working three days a week, while also making labor scarcer.

The founder of Amazon believes that in the future, artificial intelligence will allow workers to provide for their families by working three days a week, and on the other hand, it will make labor more scarce.

According to Ambassador Arjan, quoted by The Street, it seems almost impossible to make ends meet for millions of American households without working long hours. The cost of housing, food and child care consumes the majority of family income, and in many of them, both people have to work in order to have a decent life.

However, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, believes that artificial intelligence can gradually change this equation. He recently suggested that productivity gains brought about by artificial intelligence might allow people to support their families by working just three days a week.

This view comes as workers are faced with a wave of news related to layoffs, automation, and concerns about the elimination of some jobs by artificial intelligence. This contrast makes Bezos's prediction remarkable and raises the question of whether artificial intelligence can really dramatically increase corporate productivity.

Bezos believes that AI could eventually increase productivity across the US economy by double digits. According to him, such growth may fundamentally change people's need to work and their working hours.

In an interview with Fox News, he said that these achievements could give workers the right to choose, which now seems out of reach. "I can support my family by working three days a week," Bezos said.

Bezos' prediction is not limited to the shortening of the work week. He believes that by increasing economic productivity with the help of artificial intelligence, some households may once again be able to support their living expenses with the income of one person. From his point of view, the economic abundance resulting from this development can lead to the scarcity of labor; Because fewer people will feel compelled to work as much as before to meet their needs.
