Zoom CEO Eric Yuan said AI could lead companies to support three- or four-day workweeks, telling The New York Times in a 2025 interview that if AI improves lives, “why do we need to work for five days a week?” He joins Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon in predicting shorter schedules. Gates said AI’s pace of innovation will remove the need for humans for “most things” in the next 10 years and asked whether people should work “2 or 3 days a week.” Huang, whose company he described as a $5.3 trillion GPU company, said industries adopting AI at the current rapid rate could “probably” bring a four-day workweek, though workers may be “busier in the future than now.” Dimon said technology may bring better work-life balance and that children will “probably be working 3 and a half days a week.” The article also cited Exos, which found a one-workday-shorter schedule cut employee burnout in half and raised productivity by 24%. Yuan acknowledged some jobs will be erased.
