Bill Gates raised the possibility: if Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to advance at the current pace, we could live in a world where the work week has only three days.

But the question is not whether it's possible…

The real question is: are we prepared for that?

AI is already changing how we work.

Almost without realizing it, AI is rewriting our work routines:

• Emails that write themselves.
• Automated meetings.
• Video editing in minutes.

Programming, design, customer service… on autopilot.

AI not only transforms industries.

It is questioning something deeper:

What does it mean to work… when machines can do it for us?

A future with more leisure or more pressure?

In a recent interview, Bill Gates posed a provocative question:

“If AI can do a lot of the work… should we still work five days a week?”

This suggests a scenario where technology frees us time.

What would you do with the time AI gives you free from work?

But also a warning:

Will we use AI to live better… or just to produce more?

Will it translate into quality of life… or greater inequality?

The big dilemma is not technological. It is social.

The revolution is already underway.

But the real turning point is not in the algorithms… but in our decisions as a society.

What will we do with the time that AI gives us back?

Who will have the right to enjoy it… and who will be left out?

Are we designing a world for people… or just for productivity indicators?

The debate is not just about work.

It is cultural, economic, and ethical.

Work as we knew it… is mutating.

In the 19th century, there was a fight for the 8-hour workday.

Today, technology could help us work less and live more.

But every revolution carries risks:

If we don't participate in its design, someone else will decide for us.

And that “someone” may not have collective well-being in mind.

Conclusion: it is not just about AI… but how we envision the future.

Artificial intelligence can help us build a new relationship with time and work.

A three-day work week is not just a technological utopia.

It is a social project that needs:

Brave public policies

Empathetic leadership

Conscious citizens

Because in the end, AI will not decide for us…

It will be us who decide what to do with the time it gives us.

And what would you do with the other four days of the week?

Are you ready for a new labor era?
