Tech visionary Bill Gates has suggested that artificial intelligence (AI) could pave the way for humans to work just three days a week, and he deems this prospect as “probably OK.”

This revelation underscores the profound impact AI is expected to have on the future of work and labor dynamics.

Gates, co-founder of Microsoft and a prominent advocate for AI research, expressed his optimism during a discussion about the rapid advancements in AI technology.

He believes that as AI systems become increasingly capable of handling tasks traditionally performed by humans, the standard workweek may see a significant reduction.

The idea of a shorter workweek, made possible by AI-driven automation, raises intriguing questions about how society will adapt to such a shift. What implications will this have for work-life balance and income distribution?

Will industries and governments embrace this change, and how will it affect job markets and employment opportunities?

While Gates’ vision may seem like a distant future, it sparks a crucial conversation about the evolving role of AI in our lives. As technology continues to evolve, it is essential to consider the ethical, economic, and social implications of such transformative changes.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
