Senator Bernie Sanders believes that advancements in artificial intelligence should be leveraged to allow workers to have shorter workweeks. On Joe Rogan's podcast, Sanders emphasized that increased productivity from AI can lead to reduced work hours, specifically proposing a 32-hour workweek through his "Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act." This act aims to ensure overtime pay for hours worked beyond the new threshold, providing workers with more time for personal pursuits. Sanders also discussed the implications of automation on work's role in society and the need for purpose beyond traditional employment.
Let's use technology to benefit workers. That means, give you more time with your family, with your friends, for education, whatever the hell you want to do.
Instead of throwing you out on the street, I'm going to reduce your workweek to 32 hours. The change would be phased in over four years.
