Human Discovery work 3 days a week but enough salary for a family

The Amazon founder and one of the world's richest men, Jeff Bezos, believed that AI could increase productivity in such a way that one man could support his entire family by working three days a week.

'Some people will decide, 'I can support my family by working three days a week.' That's what productivity in the economy means, "Bezos in interviews with Fox News is quoted seconds.

He also predicts Al allows more families to live with just one single source of income or earner, which allows one pair to stop working if they want.

"You no longer have to have a household with two earners. If you still want it, go ahead. But if you don't, one of you can stop," called it.

He argued that these changes would eventually trigger labor shortages, instead of causing jobs to be lost, as some experts worry about.

His view is contrary to concern that AI is potentially replacing millions of workers as there are more and more companies that automate various tasks. Bezos admitted such concerns, but he didn't agree that mass unemployment was inevitable.

In Prometheus, the start of the AI where he served as a founder and co- CEO, Bezos stated their goal was to develop artificial general engineer who could help people turn ideas into physical products.

The optimism appeared when Amazon, the company he founded, cut down about 30,000 corporate jobs in the last year. When asked about the layoffs, Bezos linked them to corporate recruitment and expansion too soon after the pandemic.

Bezos' net worth estimated USD 380.8 billion by October 12 according to Forbes, made him the second richest man in the world under Tesla's CEO Elon Musk.

Some other business figures also predict AI can shorten the traditional workday five days a week. The CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang, is signaling a four-day workforce in a week is very possible. While CEO JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon, predicting employees may only need to work three and a half days a week.

One of Microsoft's founders, Bill Gates, even presented the possibility of two days of work a week as well as an AI that would take over more tasks.
