Working hours: This calculator shows how much you will have to work in the future
Should AI not save working time? Initial studies show that in some cases the opposite is the case. Why this is the case - and how much more or less you may have to work soon.
Researchers at Emory University in Atlanta, USA, and other institutions have found that the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the workplace has not led to a decrease in working hours as expected. Instead, data from the American Time Use Survey (Atus) shows that working hours in the US have increased. A study by Wei Jiang, a professor of economics at Emory University, and colleagues suggests that employees who use AI extensively tend to work more hours than before.
The study also found that those who use little or no AI may need to invest time in learning to use it, also leading to more work hours.
