Bernie Sanders Calls for AI-Fueled Four-Day Workweek to Boost Worker Well-Being

  • On June 24, Senator Bernie Sanders called for a 32-hour, four-day workweek to share AI productivity gains fairly with workers in a Joe Rogan interview.
  • Sanders criticized tech firms for layoffs despite increased productivity, highlighting that AI should benefit workers, not deepen inequality or enrich CEOs.
  • He referenced international experiments with four-day workweeks in several countries, which demonstrated increased productivity, decreased worker fatigue, and maintained salaries without any job cuts.
  • Sanders emphasized that technology should be harnessed to improve workers' lives by allowing them more time for family, education, and personal interests, rather than leading to job displacement.
  • His proposal aims to prompt a societal shift that balances AI advances with labor rights, suggesting a shorter workweek may prevent mass unemployment and inequality spikes.
