Sure AI is hot, but is it an actual market or a platform piece?
AI has been as hot as it comes since the start of the year, but the question remains whether it's a product category or a platform piece.
Is AI a product or a platform?
AI is often viewed as an enabling technology rather than a distinct product. Major companies like Salesforce, Adobe, and IBM have incorporated AI into their products to enhance functionality, rather than selling it as a separate product. This suggests that AI will likely become a ubiquitous part of software, making it less of a standalone category.
What are companies actually doing with AI?
While 56% of CIOs from large companies indicated that generative AI would impact their IT budgets, only 4% reported significant projects underway. This indicates that many companies are still in the exploratory phase. However, interest is growing, with around 15% of large companies planning to invest in generative AI, and this trend is accelerating.
How will AI impact the future of software?
AI is expected to be integrated into a wide range of software applications, becoming a standard feature rather than a highlighted product. As it becomes more commonplace, the focus will shift from AI as a category to its functionality within products, similar to how mobile technology has evolved in the market.
