Will AI Be the Next Real Transformation?

▤ Summary

This article argues that AI may become the next major software wave, but only if it moves beyond productivity gains and powers adaptive business systems. It reviews seven historical technology waves, from standalone PC software to cloud, microservices, and AI-driven applications. The author says each wave mattered because it expanded the kinds of business problems software could solve. The piece concludes that AI’s real value will come from embedding intelligence into operational workflows, decision-making, and dynamic response systems. It frames the next era of software as one defined by business capability, not just faster development.
