Executives in the tech industry have long claimed that advancements in artificial intelligence will lead to reduced working hours. However, many employees report working up to 90 hours a week, contradicting these assertions. Companies like Google and Meta are pushing AI initiatives, yet workers face increased pressure and longer hours due to the demands of these projects.
Research indicates that rather than alleviating workloads, AI tools may be adding to them, as employees must frequently verify AI outputs. This situation raises concerns about workplace culture and employee well-being in the tech sector.
