Bill Gates has predicted that within the next decade, artificial intelligence (AI) could drastically change the traditional workweek, potentially reducing it to just two or three days.

In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Gates discussed how AI advancements would make intelligence more widely available, especially in sectors like healthcare and education.

With AI handling routine tasks, such as offering medical advice or helping with educational needs, human labor would be freed up for other areas, possibly reshaping the structure of work itself.

He also pointed out that while some professions, such as in sports, would still require human involvement, the shift to AI could lead to a new understanding of work and productivity.

Although this shift is promising, Gates acknowledged that there are uncertainties about the long-term effects of AI, including its impact on job markets and society.

Despite these uncertainties, Gates remains optimistic about the future of AI.
