Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, told the Computex audience that the rise of “agentic AI” – systems that can perform tasks with minimal human input – is opening unprecedented opportunities for software companies rather than ushering a “SaaSpocalypse.” He argued that AI agents will rely heavily on tools, so software firms remain essential if they adapt their products for agent use. Huang’s optimism mirrors the views of other tech leaders such as TCS chief K. Krithivasan, Salesforce’s Marc Benioff and SAP’s Christian Klein, all of whom say AI is enhancing, not replacing, enterprise software. He also dismissed the tendency of some CEOs to blame AI for recent layoffs, calling that narrative “lazy” because generative‑AI tools have only become broadly practical in the past few months.
