Time for the Innovation Floodgates to Finally Open
Product innovation has accelerated over the past decade. Thanks to the widespread deployment if AI, there is now intelligence in just about every product we touch. These changes have improved our lives and saved some in the process. The trend seems to be unstoppable. But there is another side of what is happening all around us. It has to do with what is creating innovation, and what is enabling that innovation.
For many decades the chip industry led the way for innovation. A new processor from Intel or new cell phone platform from Qualcomm would define new markets and spur innovation. Over the past decade or so that’s changed. Now, software leads the way for innovation. New business models, new user experiences and all that intelligence we see in everything is defined by software.
