Jack Ma: You'll Thank A.I. for That Ultra-Short Workweek

Alibaba co-founder Jack Ma thinks that artificial intelligence (A.I.) will allow humans to work 12-hour workweeks. Ma made that statement while sharing a stage with Tesla CEO Elon Musk at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. "I think people should work three days a week, four hours a day," Ma said, adding: "I think that because of artificial intelligence, people will have more time to enjoy being human beings. I don't think we'll need a lot of jobs." Musk, who helped co-found OpenAI, a semi-non-profit dedicated to mitigating any existential risk from A.I., also offered that computers will surpass humans "in every single way" (per CNBC).
