Altman predicts the era of "all AI companies" has begun > OpenAI CEO Sam Altman predicts that "fully AI enterprises" will emerge, with AI evolving from an auxiliary tool to a fully autonomous executor. OpenAI products will soon achieve 100% code written by AI, covering the entire development and decision-making process, marking a fundamental shift from the traditional "Software as a Service (SaaS)" model to the new paradigm of "Service as Software (SaaS)." OpenAI CEO Sam Altman predicted at the CISCO AI Summit that artificial intelligence is transitioning from a tool that assists humans to a fully autonomous executor, marking the dawn of the "full AI enterprise" era. This shift signifies the end of the traditional "software as a service" model, replaced by a new paradigm of "service as software." In this new era, a company's competitive advantage will no longer depend on the number of engineers but on the strategic clarity in directing autonomous AI systems. Altman recently revealed that OpenAI's "AI Defense" product will soon achieve 100% code written by AI. This is not merely a technical assistance but a substantive replacement. AI is no longer just helping to build the tech stack; it is the tech stack itself—covering code writing, infrastructure building, and decision-making, all autonomously operated. Altman pointed out that **AI systems are no longer just enhancing work efficiency but are fundamentally changing organizational structures.** In future workflows, AI will be responsible for building, deploying, and optimizing, while humans will provide strategic direction. In short, humans decide "what to do," while AI decides "how to do it" and executes it thoroughly. In this model, engineering capability is no longer a limiting factor; the ability to guide AI in executing tasks faster than human teams will become the core competitive advantage. Market observers believe that OpenAI's shift to full autonomy is not just a simple product demonstration but proves that this model has the capability to replace existing human organizational structures. This transformation means that companies merely using AI to accelerate development processes are still optimizing a model on the verge of extinction, while those allowing AI to act as developers will operate in a radically different economic reality, rendering competitors structurally obsolete. ## **From Assistance to Replacement: The Rise of Full AI Enterprises** According to Altman's vision, "full AI enterprises" not only mean better software but also represent a completely new organizational structure. In this structure, AI can execute complete workflows, not just assist engineers. **Yesterday, people were still using AI tools; tomorrow, AI will serve humans as employees do for management.** Altman emphasized that the core of this transition lies in AI taking on all aspects of code writing, infrastructure management, and daily decision-making. As OpenAI's products move towards 100% AI-written code, traditional engineering teams are no longer the ones being enhanced but are facing the risk of being "deprecated." This also marks a shift in the constraints of technology development from "engineering capacity" to "strategic clarity." ## **Business Model Reconstruction: SaaS is Dead, Service as Software is Here** With the enhancement of AI's autonomous capabilities, the traditional "Software as a Service" (SaaS) business model is being redefined as "Service as Software" (SaaS). In this new model, AI is no longer just a tool assisting humans in building software; it directly provides complete service outcomes The economic reality brought about by this transformation is harsh: **Companies that use AI merely to speed up developers are essentially optimizing an outdated model.** In contrast, those that allow AI to directly take on the role of developers will operate in this entirely new economic reality. Once AI-driven companies clearly surpass human-driven companies in speed, this transformation will no longer be optional but a necessary condition for survival. Some analysts believe that skills have merely shifted, and those who understand systems, context, and strategy will be more valuable. ## **Dramatic Changes in Competitive Landscape: Dimensionality Reduction of Speed and Structure** Altman's remarks reveal the fundamental changes in the nature of future corporate competition. When 100% of the code is written by AI, a company's advantage will no longer depend on the number of engineers it has but rather on the clarity and speed with which it directs AI to perform tasks. This means that **organizations that are the first to recognize and complete this transformation not only gain a competitive advantage but actually render all other competitors structurally outdated.** If companies do not complete the transformation ahead of their competitors, they will face the fate of being eliminated by rivals that operate at an unbeatable speed. OpenAI's move towards full autonomy is a strong testament to the feasibility of this new organizational structure ### Related Stocks - [AIYY.US - YieldMax AI Option Income Strategy ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AIYY.US.md) - [OpenAI.NA - OpenAI](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/OpenAI.NA.md) - [AI.US - C3.AI](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AI.US.md) - [IGV.US - iShares Expanded Tech Software Sector ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IGV.US.md) - [CLOU.US - Global X Cloud Computing ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CLOU.US.md) - [IXN.US - ISHRS S&P Glb It](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IXN.US.md) - [XSW.US - SPDR S&P Software](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XSW.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | Anthropic 估值衝上 3500 億美元 阿布扎比 MGX 及黑石爭相追加投資 | 阿布達比 MGX 及黑石集團正爭相向 Anthropic 注資，Anthropic 估值已飆升至 3,500 億美元，集資額有望突破 200 億美元。MGX 計劃注資數億美元，若交易落實，將同時持有 OpenAI、xAI 及 Anthrop | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275546114.md) | | 馬斯克計劃於月球建 AI 衞星工廠 用質量驅動器發射 X 未來推出支付功能「X Money」 | 馬斯克在 xAI 員工大會上表示計劃在月球建立 AI 衞星工廠，利用「質量驅動器」發射衞星，並構想建立自給自足的城市以支持 AI 發展。他還透露社交平台 X 的月活躍用户已達 6 億，計劃推出支付功能「X Money」，目標是將用户數提升至 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275582010.md) | | SaaS 是否已經消亡？軟件崩潰的真相、消失的底層以及無法再現的巔峯 | 這篇文章討論了最近軟件即服務（SaaS）行業的下滑，這一趨勢是由於與人工智能進展相關的重大拋售所引發的。追蹤北美軟件的 IGV ETF 自峯值以來已下跌近 30%，前瞻市盈率降至自 2014 年以來未見的水平。人工智能工具的出現，特別是 A | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275712567.md) | | 甲骨文的最悲觀假設：若 AI 數據中心合同全部終止 | 伯恩斯坦極端壓力測試顯示，即便 OpenAI 等 AI 客户完全撤單，甲骨文僅憑核心數據庫與企業雲業務仍可支撐每股 137 美元估值，較當前股價下行空間僅 15%，安全邊際清晰。研報同時拆解市場擔憂：2480 億美元租賃合同年度風險敞口僅 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275745631.md) | | AI 敲響「軟件股末日論」市值蒸發 1 萬億 Adobe 失大眾用户羣「SaaS 前景被嚴重打擊」 | 近期 AI 技術的迅猛發展引發市場對軟體服務（SaaS）公司的擔憂，導致軟體股市值蒸發 1 萬億美元。儘管短期內 AI 無法完全取代 SaaS，但相關公司的估值面臨重估。投資者被建議在公司走出困境後再考慮投資。Google 和 Anthro | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275211273.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
