New Delhi: Artificial Intelligence will reset the nature of the software industry, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said, adding that while it will be bad for some companies, many others will be able to benefit as they have a different value proposition.
Altman told reporters that many things will change for tech companies, with AI making coding easier and faster.
“…but people overreact, both positively and negatively. So it is totally true that software is now far easier to create than ever before, and I’m sure that will be quite bad for some software companies. But I think a lot of software companies have a value proposition that is quite different,” he said.
