About this episode
AI promises enormous productivity gains. But what happens to all the time AI supposedly saves us?
For nearly a century, technological progress has carried the promise that greater productivity would eventually allow people to work less. Now generative AI and AI agents are renewing that possibility. Yet another future is emerging: AI makes workers more productive, organizations raise expectations, competitors respond, and everyone ends up working just as much, or even more.
On this episode of the Workplace Minute, Steve examines these two possible futures of AI and work, new research suggesting AI exposure may actually be extending the workday, and the fundamental question organizations and workers will increasingly have to confront: When AI saves you an hour, who gets the hour?
