Since AI companies are concerned about how their products revolutionize productivity, senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) wants the technology industry to keep its automatic face where it is.
Sanders in a recent interview with Podcaster Joe Damn Argument Workers should be returned to spend time with their families saved with AI tools.
Sanders said, “Technology will work to improve us, not just the owner of the technology and the CEO of the big corporation,” Sanders said. “You are a worker, your productivity is increasing because we have given you AI, isn’t it? Instead of throwing you on the street, I’ll reduce your work week 32 hours.”
This is an idea that would be relieved for most people and an unrealistic horror for anyone who ever went to Davos. If you do not accept every moment you can run the shareholder value, what is the key to life?
For technology elite, the promise of AI-powered growth in productivity means that companies can do more, as their workers will be released to get more work-or they can simply save money by slashing their headcount. However, for workers, this enthusiasm of skills can mean to complete their existing work stresses in less time, so if they are lucky they can take their children to play the Little League.
“And anyway, not a key idea,” Sanders said. “There are some companies around the world that is doing this with some success.”
For example, 619 companies in the UK (about 2,5 workers) Four -day work week driven By the end of 2022. Of the 20 companies sharing financial data, the income from the beginning of the trial to the end was almost the same, the average increased by 5.7%.
Have kickstarter Conducted in the four -day work week Microsoft Japan since 2021 Driven A four -day work week in 2019, resulting in a 40% increase in productivity.
“Let’s use technology for the benefit of the workers,” Sanders said. “It means to give you more time with your family, with your friends, for education, all you want to do”
