Bernie Sanders says productivity-boosting AI should mean 4-day workweeks, not layoffs

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2025-08-26 02:14:00

A hot potato: AI companies never shut up about how their technologies are making everyone super productive, supposedly allowing us to do more in less time. But Senator Bernie Sanders says if this really is the case, we should all be working 4-day weeks. During a recent interview on the Joe Rogan Experience, Sanders pointed out that the extra time that workers save through the use of AI tools should be given back to them – not filled with extra work.

In 2025, we're constantly told, artificial intelligence is bringing about a workplace revolution.
