A video of Sridhar Vembu’s visit to Japan is in the news, in which he is running to board the bullet train. On the other hand, his company Zoho has introduced such a combo of its AI tools and software in the Philippines that will solve major problems of people and companies in the future.
Security and AI together
According to a news report, companies around the world are rapidly adopting AI tools. But one problem with this is the software systems working differently. Zoho has found its solution. It is offering both security and AI on a single platform.
- Zoho in the Philippines has shown off new updates to its AI portfolio. This means that along with its AI tools like Jiya Agents, Zoho is offering One software.
- In fact, it is becoming expensive and unsafe for companies using AI tools to handle different apps. If any one company has both software and AI, then its demand is certain to increase in the future. Jaeho has both of these things. (ref.)
Why did Sridhar Vembu reach Japan?
- Sridhar Vembu’s company is expanding its AI tools in the Philippines, while the tech giant itself has a presence in Japan. He wants that Japan’s technology will be brought to the villages of India.
- In this context, Sridhar Vembu’s new video has made headlines on social media. He is seen running wearing a traditional South Indian dhoti and shirt to board Japan’s famous ‘Shinkansen’ (bullet train).
- Before the trip to Japan, Vembu had said that he wanted to connect companies in rural areas of Japan with companies in small towns of India. The country is expected to get direct benefits from the exchange of technology.
Clear vision regarding AI
Sridhar Vembu’s view is also clear regarding AI. He is not a supporter of American AI technology at all. Recently, in a post, he had said that American companies themselves are using AI tools made in China. He advised India to do the same. Recently launched AI tool GLM 5.5 of a Chinese company is very much discussed. This is an open source AI tool which any company can download and prepare the tool for itself by training its data on it.
