Sadhguru says AI will end ‘intellectual coolies’ era, urges entrepreneurs to stay agile

Sadhguru on Thursday said the world is increasingly business-oriented and that the quality of life depends on how businesses are run. In a post shared on X, he stated, “The world has become business-oriented, has begun to understand the nature, the safety and the quality of life depends on how we conduct our businesses. It is not just about military or politics. Our business determines how well people live. A time has come when businesses should belong to the future because they are the leading edge of the world.” Speaking at INSIGHT: The DNA of Success 2025 at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore on November 27, he addressed participants and said businesses must look ahead. The annual business leadership intensive, hosted from November 27 to 30, has over 200 participants from more than 20 countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and Singapore.Responding to concerns over artificial intelligence, Sadhguru described AI as a shift in human work patterns. He said, “The power of ‘intellectual coolies’ is going to go away very soon and I’m so happy about this….Your brain and your intelligence is to be used in a different way, which a machine can never do. People are thinking, ‘Oh, machines will come, everything will go away. Only data-related things will go away. ‘”He added that technological change will be difficult only for those who expect certainty through one qualification or job. “It is for those people who thought they will do one job interview properly and after that their life is settled. For those people, this is a challenge. (If) you’re an entrepreneur, you shouldn’t care. It’ll open up a million new possibilities that you never thought possible.”On entrepreneurship, he said agility is central to growth. “The first thing you have to learn is to be agile. If you are an entrepreneur, that means you’re on your toes all the time. An entrepreneur should not be thinking of survival. An entrepreneur is an adventurer wanting to create something, even if it costs life.”He closed his address saying the programme was an opportunity for participants to become more observant and reflective. “I hope this INSIGHT becomes a way for you to become more agile, more insightful, with more integrity. You will become innocent for integrity if you’re not constantly questioning every step that you take. If you don’t ask questions, you will start creating conclusions. Conclusion is death. Questions keep you agile and stepping into something fresh every day.”Speaking at the event, Lord Karan Bilimoria said team loyalty and family support help businesses withstand stress. He told attendees that it is “better to fail doing the right thing than to succeed doing the wrong thing.”The INSIGHT programme will continue for two more days with speakers including Nitin Paranjpe, Raj Sisodia, Rohit Bansal, Shashank Kumar and Dr Bala Subramaniam.
