On September 21, 2025, Zoom's CEO said that AI advances could allow the work week to be reduced to 3-4 days for some jobs by automating routine tasks, with a warning that certain roles could disappear. This aligns with Zoom's recent updates to its intelligent assistant that summarizes meetings and turns conversations into tasks.

Future impact: The labor market shifts toward more creative/collaborative jobs, and the need for policies that balance gains with worker protection.
