Saw this question come up on my Linkedin, here is what I responded with: In the short term (next 5 years) AI will automate repetitive tasks employees are doing (tasks which SaaS is not doing) so no AI will not kill SaaS in the short term. Further lets use basic accounting system as example, asking AI to "Accurately" keep track of all transactions, do your taxes etc. will be massive waste of AI compute, SaaS accounting system is already good at doing just that, very accurately and very energy efficiently. Yes AI will be "smarter" than SaaS systems but the main constraint for AI is actual power usage, until AI can do all the work SaaS is doing, accurately at a lower energy point, it simply won't replace it. Will AI kill SaaS systems?
