Zoom CEO says five-day workweek is waste of time, three-day week possible with AI
Zoom CEO Eric Yuan said the spread of artificial intelligence tools could reduce the standard five-day workweek to three days. He said AI agents and automation could take over repetitive and administrative tasks, helping workers spend time on more meaningful work and save significant hours each week. Yuan said he dislikes working five days and expects society to shift toward three-day weeks within five years. He also warned productivity gains may not affect all jobs equally, especially entry-level roles, and urged using added free time for retraining and skills development.
