JPMorgan CEO: AI Will Eventually Lead to 3.5-Day Workweek

Forget about the five-day workweek or even the four-day workweek. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon thinks that the next generation of workers will only need to go into the office 3.5 days a week, thanks to AI. 

Dimon recently spoke about how he sees AI affecting the workplace in an interview with Bloomberg. He said that AI is helping eliminate some of the more tedious tasks of the workday, and yes, some jobs will likely be entirely replaced by the technology.

"Your children will live to 100 and not have cancer because of technology and they'll probably be working three and a half days a week," Dimon told Bloomberg.

However, Dimon believes that, despite some roles becoming obsolete, artificial intelligence will lead to a boosted quality of life for the next generation of workers. Perhaps shaving off a day and a half of work will allow for more leisure time. It'll also impact the finance industry, affecting all aspects of workflow, he said.
