Many countries, including the most recent, Australia, are adopting "right to disconnect" laws that protect workers' personal time from being infringed by employers. Should the U.S. follow suit? Kevin O'Leary, known as "Mr. Wonderful," made headlines by opposing these laws, but isn't he so far up the corporate ladder that he doesn’t face the same pressures of having his downtime interrupted? In today's smartphone-driven world, it's crucial to define clear boundaries for when we're off-duty—not just from employers but also from clients, customers, and the public. Humans weren’t designed to work 24/7, and perhaps AI can help us create a society that respects personal time.
