Software stocks were tumbling again on Tuesday, which could be a sign that the market was back to fretting about how artificial intelligence could upend the industry.

Microsoft slid 1.9%, Salesforce slumped 4.1%, CrowdStrike fell 4.2%, and Datadog dropped 4.8% in early trading. The S&P 500 was 0.6% lower as oil prices swung higher.

Intuit, ServiceNow, and Gartner were among the other software stocks in the red.
