Work-life balance | JPMorgan boss predicts AI will lead to 3.5 day work week

The head of JPMorgan Chase & Co. predicts AI will eventually shorten the workweek to 3.5 days.

Yes, you read that right. While the HR conversation on a shorter working week has focused largely on a four-day week, the finance giant’s chief executive Jamie Dimon believes the growing influence of automated solutions will eventually reduce working hours even further.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Dimon explained that the Wall Street behemoth was already utilising AI in many ways.

“We already have thousands of people (inside JPMorgan) doing it” he noted, explaining that “every single process ... every app, every database,” has been making use of AI in some way, shape or form. He described the emerging technology as“critical to our company's future success.”
