According to Meta’s technology officer (CTO), Andrew Bosworth, AI can turn into a nightmare for some companies because it can change how people interact with software. He said that right now, many people are using apps for different purposes, but it is going to change because of AI. He thought that that change would be ‘net positive’ and would disrupt the app-based models that many companies rely on.
Bosworth said that people use many apps like Spotify to get things done, but he would rather tell an AI what he wants and let it do its work and figure it out than open specific apps for specific purposes. He said that we have always used apps because that's how digital computing works, but AI can actually change that, and it is going to hurt a lot of brands. If the brand connection is lost, it can disrupt a lot of things like subscriptions, ad models, and premium services that many apps rely on.
He added that AI is already starting to change the SaaS industry, and a study by AlixPartners has shown that over 100 mid-sized software companies are being affected because of it. On the other hand, tech giants like Salesforce and Microsoft are heavily investing in AI, and many mid-sized companies are going to struggle to survive in the next two years. Despite this change about to happen, Bosworth says that this shift is good because it will focus on lower prices and better performance, even though many companies aren't going to like it.
