  "account": "Contrary to popular narratives about Artificial Intelligence, the story does not paint a picture of machines replacing jobs or making us more efficient. Instead, many workers are experiencing increased strain due to AI. Wei Jiang, an economics professor at Emory University in Atlanta, USA, expressed puzzlement over the discrepancy between the hype surrounding AI's productivity gains and the reality of its impact on workers. Jiang, along with researchers from various universities, investigated how AI is truly changing the workday, particularly the amount of work employees are doing. Utilizing data from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS), the researchers discovered that in the United States, average work hours are increasing rather than decreasing. The Handelsblatt, building on these findings and using data from Germany's Arbeitszeitstatistik, has developed a calculator to predict your work hours for 2027 based on several criteria.",
