At the TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 conference, Zoom CEO Eric Yuan shared a bold vision when he said that artificial intelligence (AI) will help shorten human working hours, opening a new era of productivity where humans work less but more effectively.
Eric Yuan said that AI assistants and digital avatars will gradually replace humans in repetitive tasks, from meetings, job exchanges to information management.
For example, Yuan, the digital twin that Zoom is developing, allows an AI version of your AI to attend meetings, present and answer on behalf of others, saving significantly in time.
The CEO revealed that he used Artist AI at this year's investor income meeting, as a way to demonstrate the technology's ability to transcome the communication front.
Yuan believes that in just the next few years, directors can negotiate contracts through their digital copies, rather than spending hours calling.
Not only in conferences, AI can also support reading and responding to emails, checking messages, filtering important information, or coordinating in online collaboration tools such as whiteboards, group documents.
According to Yuan, this is a natural step forward in the journey to turn Zoom from an online meeting platform into a comprehensive work assistant.
He emphasized: AI will be the focus of every strategic meeting at Zoom. This technology will reshape the way we work.
With a long-term vision, Yuan believes that AI will not only help businesses increase productivity, but also help people have more time to live.
In the next year, we may only need to work three or four days a week. That is the goal that I believe AI can help achieve, said Yuan.
