OpenAI has called on companies to consider testing a four-day working week as artificial intelligence systems become more advanced. The company said the idea is part of early policy proposals linked to the growing use of AI tools in the workplace. It aims to encourage discussion about how businesses and governments should respond to these changes.

The ChatGPT-maker said its suggestions are intended to start conversations about what actions may be needed as AI capabilities increase. It did not present the proposal as a fixed plan. Instead, it described the four-day week as one possible approach for organisations to explore during a period of technological change.

OpenAI said AI systems are becoming more capable and may affect how work is organised. The company’s early ideas are designed to prompt debate on how societies can adapt. It has urged firms to examine practical steps as part of a broader transition linked to AI development.
