  • Software for 'systems of record' and security (e.g., CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks) is considered less vulnerable to AI replication.
  • The market is currently selling off software indiscriminately, but investors will eventually need to distinguish between AI-vulnerable and AI-resilient software names.
