The 3-Day Workweek is Here, Says Bill Gates. I Agree // Future Work #63
Bill Gates gave us some good news: he thinks a 3-day workweek is possible.
And, that it’s a very positive development for those who believe that we don’t live to work.
I couldn’t agree more. So how do we get there? We've got it all covered in Future Work #63:
- Transition to Shorter Workweeks: Bill Gates supports the idea of a 3-day workweek as a positive development, emphasizing the potential for AI to handle mundane tasks and improve work-life balance. Current trends already point towards a feasible 4-day workweek, with 33% of respondents in a recent study expressing a preference for it over other work arrangements.
- AI's Role in Work Efficiency: Our new data shows that Generative AI significantly boosts productivity by taking over tasks like email, data analysis, and research. This increase in efficiency, combined with the reduction of unproductive meetings, suggests a realistic shift towards a 4-day workweek.
- Future Prospects and Concerns: The rapid advancement of AI could lead to a future where human labor is largely unnecessary, posing challenges in effectively utilizing increased leisure time and addressing economic needs in a post-labor world.
I dive into all of this in this spoken version of the Future Work weekly newsletter.
