betabreakfast w/Laurent Burdin | How AI Can Liberate and Elevate Us

AI could give us our Fridays back. Laurent Burdin on a 20% productivity gain, one extra day a week and what to do with it. Join us! What if AI could give us back one full day every week? And what if we used that day to make our lives better? Laurent Burdin, founder of trend consultancy Space and Lemon Innovations, is a passionate AI optimist who regularly shares his perspectives on the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence. His concept, “Win the Friday,” was born from a simple but powerful question: How can we measure AI-driven efficiency and turn it into a genuine win-win for businesses and people? The idea is bold yet surprisingly tangible: a 20% productivity gain equals one full working day in a five-day week. In other words, AI could give us our Fridays back! But how do we get there? Is AI evolving too quickly for us to harness its full potential? And, most importantly, what should we do with the time we gain? At betabreakfast, Laurent will explore why “winning a day a week” is more than a productivity goal. It's an opportunity to rethink the way we work, unlock human potential, and ultimately live happier, more fulfilling lives. Less routine. More freedom. More possibilities. That's the promise of Win the Friday – and the vision of AI optimist Laurent Burdin. Join Laurent and us for breakfast, good conversations and a look at what you’d do with your extra day. We’d appreciate it if you could register in advance so we can plan more efficiently and conserve resources. –––––– The betabreakfast is vegetarian/vegan and free for betahaus members.
