<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nEric Yuan, the CEO of Zoom, has predicted that the standard way of working in office is going to change sooner than expected. He said that the five-day workweek is headed for the history books because with the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI), humans may soon only need to work three days a week. His comments echo predictions from other heavy hitters in the tech and finance worlds, including JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and OpenAI<\/a>\u2019s Sam Altman.\u201cI hate working five days. I\u2019m pretty sure actually we really do not need to work for five days,\u201d Yuan told the Wall Street Journal, adding that in the next half-decade, the workweek will be cut down to three days a week.<\/p>\n According to Yuan, the secret to working less isn\u2019t just about being faster but having digital help in the form of AI agents. He believes that within the next five years, employees will use thousands of \u201cdigital agents\u201d to handle the mundane parts of their jobs.\u201cI do not think we need to work for five days because literally, we all will employ so many digital agents,\u201d Yuan told the publication. He explained that an AI version of people will be able attend meetings, respond to routine emails and manage schedule while they are elsewhere.\u201cWe can enjoy the beach time, but we want the kids [to] still find something new, exciting to work [on],\u201d he was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n Yuan isn’t the only one seeing a major shift on the horizon. Jamie Dimon recently told CBS News that he believes the next generation will likely work only three and a half days a week. He credits AI with helping people live \u201clonger and safer\u201d lives by reducing the physical and mental strain of full-time labor.\u201cI believe that 30 years from now, your kids are probably working three and a half days a week,\u201d said Dimon. Meanwhile, OpenAI released a 13-page pape in which the company said that Superintelligence will incentivize companies to \u201cretain, retrain, and invest in workers,\u201d and give a four-day work week without a pay cut. The company also urged policymakers and companies to start running 32-hour workweek pilots right now to prepare for the \u201cIntelligence Age.\u201d<\/div>\n\n\u2018
