As Silicon Valley keeps its long workdays entrenched, the four-day workweek has found an unexpected ally: OpenAI

OpenAI released an industrial policy report backing pilot programs for a 32-hour workweek with no pay cut.

The proposal also calls for higher employer contributions to pensions, health care, and caregiving, plus possible taxes on automated labor.

The idea is to help spread the gains from AI-driven productivity instead of letting wealth concentrate further.

The move is notable because the AI industry itself is arguing for shorter hours and a broader sharing of efficiency dividends.
