2-Day Work Weeks For CEOs And Everybody Else Due To AI?
It's An Interesting Take From Bill Gates
Brian Hanson
May 09, 2025
Good morning,
Some interesting news before the week ends:
Bill Gates predicts that CEOs and pretty much every other worker…
Will only have 2-Day Work Weeks within the next decade…
As AI replaces humans in most fields.
What This Means For Humanity
If Gates is right, this could be a huge change for all of us.
Imagine working just two days a week and having more time for family, hobbies, or rest.
AI doing most jobs means less time spent on repetitive or routine tasks.
But of course, we have to talk about the elephant in the room.
Many people might lose their source of income.
And with that…
All sorts of issues follow.
Consumerism Will Keep Everyone Okay
Here's the interesting part that many people miss: our economy needs consumers to keep buying things. If millions lose their jobs or income, businesses would quickly see their sales drop.
No business wants that!
This economic reality will likely push both governments and businesses to find solutions that keep money flowing to people, even as AI takes over more jobs.
We might see:
New laws that ensure workers still get paid well for fewer hours. Some companies are already finding that four-day workweeks with the same pay can actually boost productivity.
Universal Basic Income (UBI) programs that give everyone a regular payment regardless of employment. This would keep people spending money on goods and services.
New types of jobs that focus on what humans do best – creativity, care, and connection. AI might handle data entry, but it can't replace a kind nurse or an inspiring teacher.
Tax systems that collect money from AI-powered businesses and redistribute it to fund public services and support programs.
The bottom line is that businesses need customers with money to spend.
This simple fact will probably prevent the worst-case scenarios many fear about AI taking jobs.
What Do You Think?
I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this! Does a two-day workweek sound like a dream come true or something to worry about?
Talk soon,
Brian
