On April 14th, according to The Business InsiderMicrosoftExecutive Vice-President Rajesh Jha recently presented at an industry meeting about the future of large-scale deployments by companies AgentAfter that, they may need to buy software licences like employees。
Jha believes that when the number of AI smarts in an organization exceeds the number of human employees, each smart body will become an independent "user" requiring its own identification, log-in account number and even a software seat。
THESE ARE AI INTELLIGENT BODIES WITH INDEPENDENT IDENTITIES IN THE SYSTEM, EACH OF WHICH IS A POTENTIAL PAID SEAT。
IN THE CASE OF A COMPANY WITH 20 EMPLOYEES, AN ENTERPRISE MAY STILL NEED TO PURCHASE 50 PAID SEATS IF EACH EMPLOYEE IS EQUIPPED WITH 5 AI SMARTS AND THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES IS REDUCED TO 10。
However, this logic is not shared by all. The consulting firm AlixPartners Partner Nenad Milicevic argued that AI ' s intelligence body would reduce the number of human beings directly interacting with software and thus reduce licensing requirements significantly。
The job, which would have required 20 staff members, may be done in the future by one person to supervise a few intelligent bodies, which would have significantly reduced the bargaining power of software manufacturers。
Milicevic added that the real winner would be an open platform. If manufacturers impose extra fees for access to machines, they may push customers towards competitors who allow AI smarts to operate freely。
