Bill Gates – an American businessman, investor, philanthropist, writer, and co-founder of the software giant Microsoft – has said that a 3-day work week is possible with the help of AI (Artificial Intelligence). 

While talking to South African comedian and writer Trevor Noah on his podcast ‘What Now’, Bill Gates said that technology and AI would not replace humans but it could make a 3-day work week possible.

In the 45-minute-long conversation, the tech billionaire talked about AI and technology and how it can be used to achieve work-life balance. He also said that AI would not be taking jobs. 

Humans “don’t have to work so hard”

Trevor Noah asked Bill Gates, Former CEO of Microsoft, about the threat of artificial intelligence (AI) to jobs and if AI can take jobs. To which, Bill Gates replied that there could be one day when humans “don’t have to work so hard.” He said there could exist a world where “machines can make all the food and the stuff”, making a 3-day work week possible. 

The 68-year-old Microsoft cofounder said, “If you eventually get a society where you only have to work three days a week, that’s probably OK.”

In response to a question from comedian Noah regarding the potential impact of artificial intelligence on employment, Bill Gates said that AI can take over labor-intensive tasks, allowing people to focus on more meaningful endeavors.
