Working hours: This calculator shows how much you'll have to work in the future
Shouldn't AI save working time? Initial studies show that in some cases the opposite is the case. Why that is - and how much more or less you might work soon.
Researchers at Emory University in Atlanta, USA, and other institutions have investigated the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on work life. Contrary to expectations that AI would reduce working hours, they found that in the US, working hours have increased on average, according to data from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS).
The researchers, led by economics professor Wei Jiang, aimed to understand the discrepancy between AI's promised productivity gains and the actual experience of many employees. A calculator has been created using these findings and German working time statistics to predict an individual's working hours in 2027.
