Zoho Founder Sridhar Vembu Warns AI Could Reshape Computer-Based Jobs and Economy
Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu has warned that artificial intelligence (AI) could enable one skilled person to perform the work of 10 in computer-based jobs, potentially leading to a painful economic rebalancing. While he cautions that this does not mean mass unemployment, Vembu highlights that AI may make specialised skills more affordable to industries that previously could not hire such professionals. He urges workers and businesses to prepare for significant changes in productivity, hiring, and job roles as AI adoption grows.
