00:03OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said artificial intelligence will increase productivity,
00:07but is unlikely to bring a widespread four-day work week because people continually create
00:12new goals and new work. Speaking on the Relentless podcast, Altman said technology
00:18has improved quality of life and increased leisure time over the years, but has never
00:23produced a major shift to shorter work weeks. He said higher productivity encourages people
00:28to pursue greater ambitions rather than work less, adding that competition will continue
00:33to drive the economy. Altman's comments mark a shift from his April open letter urging companies
00:39to use AI productivity gains to test shorter work weeks without reducing pay. Anthony Scaramucci
00:45and JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon have also said AI could eventually support shorter work weeks.
