While headlines point to sweeping disruption, Raimo argues that AI is not ending software — it’s redefining the stack and reshaping where value accrues.​ At the centre of the episode is a simple but critical question: as AI accelerates change across software, what genuinely matters — and what’s being overstated?​ Raimo and Ronnie also discuss what could shape the sector’s next phase, from how valuations may stabilise to the long, often underappreciated migration timelines that anchor enterprise technology decisions.​ Listen in for a grounded perspective on where fear may be overstated, where selectivity matters most, and how investors can think about durability and opportunity as AI continues to reshape the software landscape​ Listeners can hear more on this topic:​​ Barclays Brief #14 – Rise of the humanoid robots ​ Barclays Brief #12 – The future of mobility ​ Barclays Brief #4 – AI revolution: China’s five year plan ​ Clients can read more on Barclays Live:​ Software Is Not Dead, Just Changing ​ How to play AI dislocation? ​ Agentic AI Disruption Risk in Focus ​ Important Content Disclosures ​ Important non-Resea…","meta_description":"Software equities sit in the eye of the AI storm, caught at a decisive inflection point as AI reshapes the sector and investors grapple with one of the sh…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":683,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/barclays-brief-7527145/episodes/software-in-the-ai-storm/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/barclays-brief-7527145/software-in-the-ai-storm.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
