Finnish Left Alliance lawmaker Jessi Jokelainen argues that productivity gains from AI should lead to shorter working hours, rather than simply greater profits, Jacobin reports.
Why it mattersThat is a political argument, not an announced policy change. Jacobin also describes calls for a wider plan on AI ahead of Finland’s election, but the supplied account does not set out specific proposals. The question is a practical one: who should benefit when AI makes work more productive?
Discuss: If AI boosts productivity, should the gains go mainly to workers through shorter hours, or to employers through higher profits?
