“Technology is gonna work to improve us, not just the people who own the technology and the CEOs of large corporations,” Sanders said. “You are a worker, your productivity is increasing because we give you AI, right? Instead of throwing you out on the street, I’m gonna reduce your work week to 32 hours.”

0% chance this wouldn't also come with a 20% pay cut.

If productivity increases by x% they are going to fire x% of the workforce and give the saved money to themselves.

Or more realistically, they fire x+5 percent, just to see if you work slaves can't be worked a bit harder.
