Zoho co-founder's take on AI job fears
Zoho co-founder Sridhar Vembu is brushing off big fears that AI will wipe out white-collar jobs anytime soon.
On X, he said, "The quoted post makes a strong argument that white collar jobs won't go away anytime soon due to AI," offering a bit of reassurance as anxiety about tech-driven job losses keeps popping up.
Tech leaders warn AI could make roles obsolete
Lately, there's been a lot of noise from tech leaders warning that AI could make roles like coders, lawyers, and accountants obsolete in just a year or so.
Microsoft's Mustafa Suleyman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei have both sounded alarms—especially about software engineering—saying advanced AI tools are already reshaping how work gets done.
Stay open-minded and flexible, Vembu advises
Vembu says the best way to handle all this change is to stay open-minded and flexible.
He encourages people to learn new things, form strong but adaptable beliefs ("You cannot "buy" a conviction, it has to come from within,"), and not get stuck in rigid thinking.
His advice: keep learning, act on your beliefs, and pay attention as the tech world evolves.
