Vembu raises alarm over unchecked Agentic AI use
Zoho Co-founder and chief scientist Sridhar Vembu on Friday shared an unusual email exchange between a startup founder and an artificial intelligence agent, raising fresh questions about how AI tools are being deployed in business communication.
In a post on X, Vembu said he received a cold email from a startup founder pitching a potential acquisition — one that even disclosed insider buyout details. “I got an email from a startup founder, asking if we could acquire them, mentioning some other company interested in acquiring them and the price they were offering,” he wrote.
