Jeff Bezos Says AI Productivity Could Enable Three Day Workweek
· Technology · Times of India, Fortune
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos stated in a recent Fox News interview that artificial intelligence productivity gains could eventually allow workers to support their families on a three day workweek. Bezos disputed claims that AI will cause widespread job losses, suggesting instead that it may trigger labor shortages. Addressing Amazon's recent workforce reduction of approximately 30,000 jobs over 12 months, Bezos attributed the cuts to overhiring during the Covid-19 pandemic rather than AI adoption. He also described the current AI boom as an industrial bubble where speculators may lose money, though the underlying technology will endure. Additionally, Bezos expressed support for President Donald Trump's suggestion to rebrand artificial intelligence as super intelligence.
