What just happened? There are plenty of justifiable concerns over what impact AI will have on the workplace of the near future. Bill Gates is one big tech name who believes the technology will have benefits, though, including a two- or three-day work week in the next decade. That's probably welcome news for those whose jobs haven't been replaced by AI, and provided their employers don't pay them part-time wages. Speaking to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show recently, Gates predicted a future in
