The five-day workweek has defined modern employment for nearly a century. Offices, schools and entire economies operate around that schedule. Yet one of the technology leaders who helped accelerate remote work believes the system may soon change.
Zoom chief executive Eric Yuan says artificial intelligence could significantly reduce the number of days people work each week. Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, Yuan said advances in AI may cut the workweek to just three days within the next half decade. Yuan argued that technology is advancing faster than the structures that organise modern work.
