Where are all the apps in the age of artificial intelligence?
Published
The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has changed how we create software. Many predicted that AI would lead to an explosion of new applications because the technology makes it easier for everyone to write code. Yet, we are not seeing the massive wave of new apps that many expected.
Kent Inge Fagerland Simonsen and Peter N. M. Hansteen are now questioning this phenomenon, which they call the "FermAI paradox." Even though the tools for creating software are more accessible than ever, it remains unclear why this has not resulted in a noticeable increase in the number of finished apps on the market.
A possible explanation could be that while the threshold for creating a prototype has lowered, it is still demanding to maintain and operate an app over time. Developing an idea into a finished product requires more than just coding; it also requires design, user testing, and security management.
It remains to be seen whether we will see a change in the time ahead. Perhaps we need more time to understand how AI can best be used to create full-fledged services, rather than just small experiments. The debate over the "FermAI paradox" shows that technological progress does not always lead to the results we expect right away.
