LLMs A Big Threat To Software Jobs: Sridhar Vembu

New Delhi: Software major Zoho’s Co-founder Sridhar Vembu on Sunday said that large language models (LLMs) will destroy a lot of software jobs in the future, As AI adoption surges across industries. His remarks align with growing apprehensions about AI replacing millions of jobs soon.

“I have often said this to our employees: the fact that software engineers get paid better than mechanical engineers or civil engineers or chemists or school teachers is not some birthright and we cannot take that for granted, and we cannot assume it will last forever,” Vembu said in a post on X social media platform.

“The fact that customers pay for our products also cannot be taken for granted. This is to remind ourselves that we can be ‘disrupted’ — and the more we assume we won’t be, the more likely we will be. Or as Andy Grove of Intel said ‘Only the paranoid survive,’” he mentioned.
