 Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told WSJ at the World Economic Forum in Davos that software is heading toward being “cheap, maybe essentially free,” warning that whole careers built around writing code may not survive the AI shift. The Anthropic chief executive also predicted SaaS incumbents leaning on code complexity as a moat could “go bust” as ServiceNow, Snowflake and Microsoft stocks slide and Anthropic eyes a $900 billion valuation. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told WSJ at the World Economic Forum in Davos that software is heading toward being “cheap, maybe essentially free,” warning that whole careers built around writing code may not survive the AI shift.
