OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says AI won't shorten work hours, it'll keep us busier

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a recent podcast interview that AI won't help most people work less. He noted that despite past productivity gains, society hasn't achieved a four-hour workweek, and AI won't change that.

Altman believes AI will fuel competition. As AI boosts productivity, people will demand more, create more, and compete more. He predicts that in the superintelligent era, we'll all be busier, but happier deep down.
