Gustavo Petro described the reduction of the workweek to five days in Brazil as a triumph of progressivism. He argued that the debate on reducing working hours and the time needed to retire should focus on who receives the benefits of increased productivity: companies or their workers. Petro stated that productivity was the result of knowledge accumulated by society and, therefore, a common good. He also questioned whether artificial intelligence should be privately owned and said that a minority group was appropriating human knowledge through information from networks and databases. In his view, increases in productivity should translate into shorter working hours and earlier retirements, so that people have more paid free time. #Progresismo #TrabajoJusto #InteligenciaArtificial (translated)
