Zoho Co-Founder Warns AI Threatens Traditional Jobs

Zoho co-founder Sridhar Vembu on Friday said in a post on X that AI may challenge people's self-worth when tied to economic value, but jobs driven by intrinsic motivation—caregiving, teaching, farming, temple work, rangers, and classical musicians—will remain largely unaffected. His comments sparked debate online as companies cite AI in mass layoffs and leaders warn governments to prepare for labor disruption.
