JPMorgan CEO Predicts AI Will Cut Work Week to 3.5 Days, But What Will It Mean for Jobs?

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon predicts AI will cut the work week to just 3.5 days for the next generation.
Dimon believes AI will eliminate tedious tasks and some jobs, but boost quality of life with more leisure time.
Advocates welcome shorter work weeks, citing benefits like happier, less stressed workers.
However, some employees worry AI will eliminate jobs rather than just reduce hours.
Dimon says JPMorgan will redeploy workers displaced by AI into new roles; AI is also creating some new jobs.
