OpenAI敦促企業在人工智慧革命中試行四天工作制

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is encouraging businesses to experiment with a four-day work week as artificial intelligence becomes more common in the workplace. The company believes that as AI tools get better and faster, they will change the way people work and the kinds of jobs that are available. OpenAI’s new policy ideas, which focus mainly on the United States, suggest that companies should try out shorter work weeks without cutting pay. They also recommend that businesses offer better benefits, like more retirement savings, more help with healthcare costs, and support for childcare.

In their report called Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age, OpenAI explains that AI is now able to do some tasks much faster than humans. For example, projects that used to take months could soon be finished in just days. This could mean that some jobs will disappear, but it could also create new jobs, especially in areas where people work directly with others, like teaching, healthcare, and childcare. OpenAI says that companies should be rewarded for finding ways to improve workers’ lives, such as by giving them more time off or better benefits. They also suggest that a public wealth fund could be created, so that everyone can benefit from the money made by AI.

Some experts, like Professor Gina Neff from the University of Cambridge, say that the idea of sharing the benefits of new technology with workers is not new. However, she points out that it will be difficult to make these changes because it would require a big shift in how companies and governments think about work and money. There are also concerns that AI could lead to job losses, but some people believe that the effects of AI will not be felt for many years. Other experts, like Adam Slater from Oxford Economics, say that while technology can lead to big changes, these changes often take a long time to happen. He warns that the impact of AI on jobs and the economy might not be as quick or as big as some people expect.
