In 2022, Belgium became the first European country to legislate a four-day workweek option for all employees. The four-day workweek, which has become increasingly popular abroad, has seemed like a pipe dream in the United States. However, the productivity boost that comes with AI in the workplace may help make the dream a reality for Americans. Five experts in politics, AI, and economics were interviewed by Business Insider to discuss how a four-day workweek could be implemented with the help of artificial intelligence tools. Oded Netzer, Arthur J. Samberg Professor of Business and Vice Dean for Research, identified this technology as the "necessary condition for us to work less."
Netzer has been interviewed previously by Business Insider, sharing his expertise in AI and how he expects it to impact the workforce. He has also been quoted in articles for Entrepreneur.com and The Hustle.
