Is AI Creating a Bubble? | Alan Trefler on How AI Will Change Jobs
Artificial intelligence is changing business faster than almost any technology we've seen before.
But is AI creating another tech bubble?
In this episode of The Boardroom, I'm joined by Alan Trefler, Founder and CEO of Pegasystems, the multi-billion-dollar software company he started more than 40 years ago.
We discuss why Alan believes today's AI boom is creating unrealistic expectations, how enterprise software is evolving, and why businesses need to think differently about using AI if they want long-term success.
We also talk about how AI will transform jobs, why programming is changing forever, the rise of "vibe coding", and what young people should be studying to prepare for the future.
Along the way, Alan shares the story of building Pegasystems from three people with an idea into one of the world's leading enterprise software companies, including the lessons he learned from landing some of America's biggest banks as his very first customers.
