Jack Ma and Elon Musk

The founder of e-commerce behemoth Alibaba said Thursday that technological advancements would enable people to live longer and work far fewer hours.

“Every technology revolution, people start to worry. In the last 200 years, we have worried [that] new technology is going to take away all the jobs,” he said in a discussion in Shanghai with Elon Musk, Tesla’s billionaire co-founder. Tesla is building an electric-vehicle factory in the city, and the two were on the stage at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference there.
