The CEO of Xiaomi, Lei Jun, expressed the opinion that the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies could significantly change existing labor norms. He claims that in the future, it may be possible to reduce the workweek to three days and working hours to two hours a day, which is radically different from the usual five days of eight hours.
In an interview with China News Weekly, he noted that AI is already changing the labor market and affecting many professions. Lei Jun believes that new automated tools will take over many routine tasks.
According to him, fears of mass unemployment due to the implementation of AI are exaggerated. On the contrary, he is confident that these technologies will help reduce working hours and focus on more creative and meaningful tasks.
"The possibility of working just three days a week for two hours seems quite realistic," he added. In Lei Jun's opinion, this approach could not only improve the quality of life but also increase overall productivity.
He also discussed Xiaomi's strategy in the field of artificial intelligence, emphasizing that the company is actively developing new technologies that will not only increase revenue but also enhance the usability of smartphones and tablets for users.
Additionally, Xiaomi plans to expand the application of its processors and AI functions in the international market. The integration of these technologies is expected to improve user interaction with the company's ecosystem.
Lei Jun is not the only leader in the tech industry sharing such forecasts. Similar ideas have also been expressed by Jamie Dimon, head of JPMorgan Chase, as well as Nvidia's Jensen Huang and Zoom's Eric Yuan.
