Nobel Prize-winning economist reaffirms prediction of four-day workweek after past year's events

Nobel Prize-winning economist Christopher Pissarides, who previously predicted that generative AI like ChatGPT could lead to a four-day workweek, now feels even more certain about his prediction. Pissarides believes that tools like ChatGPT will improve the quality of work and productivity, allowing employees to accomplish in four days what they currently do in five. While the possibility of a shorter workweek is gaining traction, the impact of AI on pay remains uncertain. Pissarides argues that pay will not necessarily decrease as productivity improves. However, the future of AI and its potential impact on jobs and society still holds many unknowns.
