I, as envisioned by tech leaders like Gates, Dimon, and Musk, could revolutionize the work week, potentially leading to a 3-day work week or even shorter hours. Automation of routine tasks may increase efficiency, and remote work flexibility enabled by AI could enhance work-life balance. Tailored schedules based on individual preferences might optimize productivity.However, challenges include the fear of job displacement, the need for continuous upskilling, and potential economic uncertainties. Adopting AI might lead to a temporary decrease in productivity during the transition. Concerns about shorter work weeks being exploited by employers for increased demands could lead to stress and burnout. In the context of India, Narayana Murthy’s vision for a 70-hour work week aims at global tech leadership.
