Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day workweek


"Let's use technology to benefit workers," Sanders said.

In a recent interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, Sanders argued that the time saved with AI tools should be given back to workers to spend with their families. For the tech elite, the promise of AI-driven increases in productivity means that companies can do even more, since their workers will be freed up to take on even more tasks — or, they can save money by just slashing their headcount. But for workers, this boost in efficiency could mean completing their existing workloads in less time with no loss in pay, so maybe if they’re lucky, they can make it to their kid’s Little League game.
