Episode Synopsis

Greg Twemlow's article argues that artificial intelligence (AI) will fundamentally transform the software industry, leading to the obsolescence of traditional application software and subscription-based models. This shift, referred to as "AI as the Operating System," suggests that users will articulate problems to AI, which will then generate bespoke solutions in real-time, eliminating the need for pre-built applications. The author introduces the "Problem Definition Architect©" as a new crucial human role, where individuals focus on precisely defining problems and guiding AI with ethical frameworks like the "Personal Ethics Schema (PES) and Personal Ethics Protocol (PEP)©." This transition is predicted to cause a significant economic upheaval in the software sector, particularly in the US, but ultimately lead to a global boom driven by new AI-centric service industries and an "Augmented Perception UI (AP-UI)©" that enhances human decision-making.
