AI can help you boost your work productivity, reach your goals, and have more time for yourself. Some even believe a 4-day week is possible thanks to AI. How?

00:00 Which of these emails are urgent?
00:01 Come on, another meeting?
00:03 And I still need to send out those reminders.
00:05 How can I get some work done?
00:06 Do you feel like that sometimes?
00:08 Let AI come to your rescue.
00:11 It can help you boost your productivity at work, reach your goals and, as a recent study
00:16 suggests, even help you get a day off to have more time for yourself.
00:21 So what exactly can AI do for you?
00:25 Manage your time.
00:28 Tools like SaneBox or Spark use AI to analyse your inbox.
00:32 Your emails are then prioritised based on importance.
00:36 This way you're not missing anything and don't have to stress about messages that are not
00:41 that urgent.
00:42 AI assistants can even send automated responses for you.
00:46 Same goes for scheduling.
00:48 AI can help you get the most out of your working hours.
00:52 Based on your work pattern or the importance of your tasks, tools like AnyDo can suggest
00:57 an optimal schedule.
01:00 Also AI can help you and your colleagues find a suitable meeting spot, send invites or provide
01:06 relevant documents.
01:08 Analysing data.
01:10 AI can analyse data sets quicker than any human could.
01:16 Tools like Tableau also visualise findings for you.
01:20 Businesses working with a lot of data might benefit from this.
01:23 The tools could help identify problems or unused potential.
01:28 This might give you an edge in fields like finance or research.
01:33 Personalise learning.
01:35 To really excel at your job, you constantly have to improve your skills.
01:40 AI-powered learning platforms like edX can help you with that.
01:44 They can create personalised training programmes based on your skills and weaknesses and provide
01:50 you with individualised feedback.
01:53 Keep in mind that such tools often come with a price tag.
01:56 Plus, there are many more out there than the ones I mentioned.
02:00 So do your own research to find the products that suit your needs.
02:04 Alright, now I can become a superhuman at work.
02:07 But what about getting that day off we mentioned earlier?
02:10 Well, two studies conducted in Britain and the US suggested that AI might enable millions
02:17 of people to move to a four-day workweek by 2033.
02:22 In concrete numbers, AI could reduce the workweek from 40 to 32 hours for 28% of the workforce.
02:29 That's 8.8 million people in Britain and 35 million in the US.
02:35 But if companies will give their workers full pay for working less, that's another story.
02:41 One idea to ensure workers are not losing out on money due to AI is Universal Basic
02:46 Income or UBI.
02:49 This means that everyone would regularly get an unconditional minimal income.
02:55 But where would the money be coming from?
02:57 Well, some experts suggest taxing companies on the profits they make by using AI.
03:04 Others go even further and say everyone should have a right to UBI because we collectively
03:09 created all the data that's being used to train AIs.
03:14 However, Universal Basic Income is still subject to much debate and won't be coming anytime
03:21 soon.
03:22 But it's an interesting concept if you ask me.
03:24 Are you already using AI in your everyday work?
