Senator Bernie Sanders has advocated for a reduction in the standard workweek to four days, or 32 hours, without a pay cut, citing advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) as a key driver for increased productivity. Sanders argues that rather than resulting in layoffs, AI-driven productivity gains should be used to improve workers' quality of life by allowing them to work fewer hours. He emphasized this position in multiple interviews, including appearances on The Joe Rogan Experience and statements to various media outlets. Sanders highlighted that AI can perform tasks more efficiently, reducing the need for workers to spend excessive time on routine or tedious activities. His proposal aligns with a growing movement supporting a shorter workweek, fueled by debates on how AI will impact labor markets and productivity. Sanders' stance challenges the notion that AI and worker benefits are incompatible, urging tech companies to share the gains from automation with employees through reduced working hours rather than workforce reductions.
