Senator Bernie Sanders has advocated for a reduction in the standard workweek to four days, or 32 hours, without a pay cut, in response to productivity gains driven by advancements in artificial intelligence. In interviews with outlets including TechCrunch and The Joe Rogan Experience, Sanders emphasized that AI should benefit workers by enabling shorter work hours rather than resulting in layoffs. He argued that as AI automates routine and time-consuming tasks, workers should receive more leisure time instead of facing job displacement. Sanders' position contributes to the broader debate on how increased AI productivity should be shared between employers and employees, with calls for the tech industry to ensure that automation leads to improved quality of life for workers. This push aligns with growing discussions around the feasibility and benefits of a four-day workweek in an AI-enhanced economy.
