How SaaS can survive the AI revolution, with Aaron Levie

Episode notes

SaaS companies made work easier by revolutionizing enterprise software. But AI is starting to actually do the work for us. So what role do legacy SaaS platforms have in the AI era? Pioneers of AI sat down with Box CEO and co-founder Aaron Levie to discuss how his 20-year-old, 4 billion dollar company is back in startup mode to keep up with AI. Levie refers to the current moment as the third wave in Silicon Valley disruption following the dot com and app booms. He describes how Box is adapting to the rapidly evolving landscape, how AI is disrupting labor and software markets, and why SaaS still has value in this next chapter.
