Box founder Aaron Levie warns that the executives advocating for AI to take over jobs often do not fully grasp the intricacies involved in those roles, a phenomenon he describes as "AI psychosis." This trend has been exemplified by ClickUp's decision to reduce its workforce by 22% in favor of AI agents. Moreover, the pace of tech layoffs in 2026 is already on track to nearly match the total layoffs of 2025, raising concerns about the sustainability and implications of such a shift.
