The impact of AI on SaaS businesses
AI is set to transform the SaaS industry, particularly in terms of productivity. Tools like co-pilot are enabling developers and engineers to be more efficient, reducing the need for companies to outsource engineering tasks. This could lead to a change in the economics of SaaS businesses as the leverage they once provided dissipates. However, there is still a significant amount of work to be done in software development and engineering, and AI integration could lead to a redistribution of engineers across various industries.
