Apparently TeamSystem here in Europe is citing AI among the reasons for reducing its weekly working hours from 36 to 32, without change to the employees salary.

So you get Friday off and get paid the same. That's how technological progress is supposed to work.

It’s been shown many times that working 4 days a week can have same work output at 5 days.

So they will probably get the same output. But not because of AI.
