12:10 pm Lunch Panel #1 - "Will AI eat Software?"
In August of 2011, Marc Andreessen penned an article called "Why Software is Eating the World." He argued that, far from being a "dangerous new bubble", the opposite was true.
"We believe that many of the prominent new Internet companies are building real, high-growth, high-margin, highly defensible businesses," he wrote.
Fifteen years later, with an historic run of the Nasdaq reaching dizzying new heights, Andreessen's thesis has been cemented. Today, however, a new foe has emerged on the horizon, and it has some worried that software itself will be eaten.
Does the rise of Artificial Intelligence spell the end of Software? Our panel discusses.
