The debate to take AI away from human jobs never ends. While some experts say that the machine will open more doors of learning opportunities, others argue that it will more severely disrupt the workforce, which will reduce the number of jobs that humans currently perform. Adding the words in this ongoing debate, Zoho’s founder Sridhar Vembu says that AI will not only take a job, but the salary structure of software engineers may be affected for worse. He emphasizes that software engineers should not consider long -term guaranteed privileges at their high salary.

Posting his views on X (formally Twitter), Sridhar wrote, “The fact that software engineers are paid better than mechanical engineers or civil engineers or chemists or school teachers, something congenital and we cannot provide it, and we cannot assume that it will last forever.”

He then said, “The fact that customers pay for our products, they cannot be given either.”

Sridhar has warned that the new AI equipment can disintegrate widespread jobs in the IT sector. He pointed to the fundamental principle that customer loyalty and job security are earned and can never be considered permanent. He said, “Productivity Revolution I can destroy a lot of software jobs in Software Development (LLMS + Tooling). It is very luxurious, but is necessary,” he wrote.

Zoho’s CEO’s comment on AI and job impact is in accordance with the already raised concerns in the IT industry. Many studies suggest that the progress of AI to increase productivity can make many white-collar roles fruitless, especially dependent on repetitive functions and standardized processes.

Recent reports of McKins’, PWC and World Economic Forum suggest that AI can significantly change or eliminate up to 60 percent of the existing jobs by 2050. McKinse projects revealed that by 2030, 30 percent of American jobs can be automated, while another 60 percent may require significant re-spilling.

Another report by the World Economic Forum Report states that up to 40 percent of software programming works can be automated by 2040. The report states that when AI can write more efficiently than humans for many regular tasks, can do testing and dibg code, it can do more and more in a supervisory or problem-constitution ceremony rather than manual coding to software engineering.

The comments of the Zoho founder also come at a time when Openai and Google and some other technical companies are working on Codex such as AI tools, which are particularly aimed at software development. In recent weeks from Mark Zuckerberg to Sundar Pichai, many technical industry leaders have highlighted that most of the codes within a year will be written through the AI-first approach.
