AI Honeymoon is Over? The Future of the AI Industry

--

There are only two key ways to make money in the industry: either you bundle or unbundle

The AI honeymoon bubble may be over. As the things evolves, there are only two key ways to make money in the industry: either you bundle or unbundle. OpenAI and other standalone AI tool providers need to sit back and build their moats to stay competitive.

The Latest AI News

As AI news comes in the last couple of days,

Silent Bomb! Master Stroke!😲 Google makes Gemini Free for All, adding $2 to each Workspace Business Subscription. #TecWinds
Aha! Amidst the Google Bombshell, MS too bakes Copilot features into Microsoft 365 sub for an extra $3 per month #TecWinds
Amidst Google & MS almost freeing AI tools, Open AI and the rest might need moats to succeed alone! 🤔 #TecWinds

The Challenges for OpenAI and Standalone AI Providers

Amidst Google and Microsoft almost freeing AI tools, standalone providers like OpenAI might need moats to succeed alone. Without robust ecosystems or bundled offerings, they could struggle to compete. Building strategic moats will be crucial to their survival.

A History Lesson: The Dot-Com Bubble

Remember the dot-com bubble of the early 2000s? It led to a bloodbath, but out of the collapse emerged new winners: the cloud, mobile, and app revolution (SaaS). The AI industry might face a similar reckoning, where only those with sustainable business models will thrive.

Future Outlook

#TecWinds predicts the next decade will witness a consolidation phase in the AI industry. Only companies with robust business models will survive. A report from Gartner suggests that by 2025, 75% of AI projects will fail due to a lack of strategic alignment with business goals. The message is clear: adapt or perish.

Final Thoughts

AI alone guys, they’re all soon going to need a strategic shift to go beyond, make money, and succeed in the space. It’s time to look beyond the hype and focus on building sustainable, revenue-generating models.
