Much like graphics processing units, high bandwidth memory is essential for training and running AI. It's paired with all those NVIDIA chips that have been selling like hotcakes and only a small handful companies in the world make it.

Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Tom Mainelli, vice president of device and consumer research at IDC, about how long this shortage could last.

Our U.S. Software Analyst Sanjit Singh explains how AI is reshaping software development and why the future for the sector may be brighter – and busier – than ever.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Sanjit Singh, the U.S. Software Analyst at Morgan Stanley.Today: how AI is transforming software and what that means for developers.It's Friday, October 24th, at 10am in New York.There's been a lot of news stories and anecdotal accounts about AI taking over jobs, especially in the software industry. You may have heard of vibe coding, where people can use natural language prompts, guiding AI to build software applications. So yes, AI is creating a world where software writes itself. But at the same time, the demand for human creativity only grows.The introduction of AI coding assistants has dramatically expanded what software can do, fueling a surge in both the volume of code and the complexity of projects. But instead of shrinking the developer workforce, AI is actually supporting continued growth in developer headcount, even as productivity soars.We're estimating the software development market will grow at a 20 percent compound annual growth rate, reaching $61 billion by 2029. And that's up from $24 billion in 2024. And in terms of the developer population, [research] firms like IDC expect it to jump from 30 million paid developers in 2024 to 50 million by 2029 – that's a 10 percent annual growth rate. Even the most conservative estimates, like those from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, see developer jobs growing roughly 2 percent per year through 2033, outpacing overall employment growth.So, what does this mean for people behind the code? AI isn't replacing developers. It's redefining them. Routine tasks are increasingly handled by AI agents, and this frees up developers to become curators, reviewers, architects, and most important problem-solvers.The upshot? Companies may need fewer developers for repetitive work, but the overall demand for skilled engineers remains robust. As AI lowers the barrier to entry, the pool of people who can build software applications expands dramatically. But at the same time, the complexity and ambitions of projects rise, keeping experienced developers in high demand.No doubt, AI coding tools are delivering real productivity gains. Some teams are reporting nearly doubling their code capacity and cutting pull request times in half after adopting AI assistants. Test coverage has increased sharply, resulting in 20 percent fewer production incidents for some organizations. But there is a catch with all this AI-generated code. It's creating significant new bottlenecks downstream.An example of this is code review, which is becoming a major pain point. Many organizations are experiencing pull request fatigue, with developers rubber-stamping changes just to keep up. Some teams now require three reviewers for AI-generated change, compared to just one before. And in terms of automated testing, systems are getting overwhelmed because every change made with AI sets off a complete round of test.Now we estimate productivity gains from AI in software engineering at about 15–20 percent. But in complex projects, the gains are much lower, as the volume of new code often means more bugs and more rework – and hence more human developers.So where do we go from here? In our view, the future isn't about fully autonomous software development. Instead, large enterprises are likely to favor an integrated approach, where AI agents and human developers work side by side. AI will automate more of the software development lifecycle. And that not only includes coding – which, coding typically accounts for 10-20 percent of the software development effort – but other areas like testing, security, and deployment. But humans will remain in the loop for oversight, design, and decision-making. And as software gets cheaper and faster to build, organizations won't just do the same work with fewer people – they likely will do more.In short, the need for skilled developers isn't going away. But it's definitely evolving. And in the age of AI, it's not about man versus machine. It's about man with machine. And so with more software, we see more developers.Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the technology services landscape, with leading reports from IDC, Gartner, and new offerings from ServiceNow pointing to a future where managing AI sprawl becomes as critical as delivering AI capabilities themselves. High-performing channel partners are leaning into AI specialization, driving measurable outcomes for customers and fueling double-digit growth despite market pressures. At the same time, ServiceNow's “AI Experience” platform aims to consolidate fragmented AI tools, offering a unified interface that can streamline operations and reduce complexity. The broader market, according to Gartner, is accelerating rapidly, with spending on generative AI projected to surpass traditional software in the coming years—meaning providers who fail to deliver outcomes risk being left behind.Yet the rise of AI isn't all progress. Studies from Stanford, European labor groups, and cybersecurity organizations reveal a governance crisis brewing in workplaces. Workers are reporting a surge of “workslop”—AI-generated content that looks like productivity but creates no value—costing companies billions. Algorithmic management is eroding worker autonomy, while surveillance and data risks undermine trust in employers. To compound the problem, employees are increasingly feeding sensitive data into AI systems without adequate training, raising new security vulnerabilities. These trends highlight the urgent need for policies, training, and governance frameworks to ensure AI adds value instead of chaos.The disruption is also spilling into specific industries. In translation, human professionals are already being displaced as AI-driven tools gain adoption. WhatsApp's newly built-in translation capability demonstrates how “good enough” AI can be enough for most users, sidelining human expertise except in fields requiring deep cultural or contextual understanding. The translation sector serves as an early warning sign: as AI grows more capable, other professions—including legal research, finance, and customer support—face similar pressures. The lesson for providers is to help clients identify where AI is appropriate and where human oversight remains essential.Meanwhile, major vendors are steadily encroaching into IT services, redrawing the lines of what MSPs can offer. Acronis is embedding patch management into its backup suite, Slack is introducing AI-powered ticket deflection, GoTo and Nexthink are fusing support and analytics, and IBM is shifting developer tooling to its hosted cloud. Each move chips away at traditional MSP offerings, putting pressure on providers to adapt. The opportunity lies in integration and governance—helping customers unify fragmented tools, ensure compliance, and deliver outcomes that vendors alone cannot. For MSPs, the message is clear: evolve toward higher-value services, or risk being sidelined by the very vendors you once partnered with.Four things to know today00:00 From Growth to Governance: IDC, Gartner, and ServiceNow Show Where AI Is Headed for Partners and Customers05:07 AI at Work: “Workslop,” Surveillance, and Data Leaks Signal Rising Governance Crisis08:42 From WhatsApp to Workflows: AI Translation Disruption Signals Broader Job Shifts Ahead11:33 Vendors Expand Into IT Services: Acronis, Slack, IBM, and GoTo Redraw the MSP Value Line This is the Business of Tech.   Supported by: https://scalepad.com/dave/https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship Webinar:  https://bit.ly/msprmail All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Até 2026, mais de 90% das organizações no mundo sentirão os efeitos da crise de habilidades de TI - a falta de profissionais poderá significar um custo total de US$ 5,5 trilhões em atrasos, problemas de qualidade e perda de receita, de acordo com a IDC. Entre os dez skills mais necessários estão o conhecimento em IA e também em nuvem, com arquitetura, gerenciamento e armazenamento de dados e desenvolvimento de software. Muitas dessas habilidades estão diretamente relacionadas ao open source - que, apesar de sua crescente adoção em distintas organizações, vêm enfrentando escassez de profissionais capacitados. Neste episódio do podcast da Red Hat, Alexandre Duarte, vice-presidente de Serviços para a América Latina na Red Hat, faz uma análise do cenário e conta como a colaboração pode acelerar a qualificação de talentos mais conectados com os desafios reais da indústria, trazendo ainda o exemplo Red Hat Academy, programa de treinamento acadêmico da companhia.

Marketers' roles are changing, but their goals are still the same: reach and engage customers, meeting them where they are, and for better or worse, often needing to do more with less while delivering greater value. Agility requires both adapting to change quickly while also having the wisdom to know which changes truly matter. It demands a delicate balance between embracing new technologies and staying laser-focused on core business objectives. Today, we are here in New York City at Opticon25. We are going to talk about the growing role of AI for both marketers and consumers, how organizations can leverage an agentic platform to create better internal and external customer experiences, and how marketers can both do more with less while delivering exponentially greater value.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Mmakgoshi Lekhethe, CEO of the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC), about the annual financial results. IDC disbursements rise 2.5% to R16.3 billion for the financial year ending 31 March 2025. The Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) injected R16.3 billion into the South African economy during 2024/25, up 2.5% from R15.9 billion the previous year. This growth came despite subdued domestic conditions and marginal real GDP growth of just 0.4% (2023/24: 0.5%).

A inteligência artificial está no centro da transformação digital das empresas, mas será que elas estão realmente preparadas para essa mudança? No episódio de hoje do Podcast Canaltech, conversamos com executivos da Intel sobre um estudo realizado em parceria com a IDC que investigou a maturidade da IA na América Latina. Os resultados mostram um descompasso entre percepção e realidade: enquanto muitas empresas acreditam estar totalmente prontas para adotar a tecnologia, ainda enfrentam barreiras importantes, como altos custos, falta de infraestrutura e desafios culturais. Para entender o cenário, ouvimos Gisele Ruiz Lanza, vice-presidente da Intel para a América Latina; Marcelo Montenegro, Diretor de Parcerias e Alianças; e Fabiano Sabatini, Gerente de Aliança e Especialista de IoT na Intel para América Latina. Saiba mais sobre o estudo "Maturidade do uso de IA na América Latina". Você também vai conferir: um avanço científico mostrou que até pensamentos podem ser transformados em palavras, Google Fotos pode ganhar um modo estilo Tinder para limpar sua galeria, vem aí uma leva de lançamentos da Apple e o iPhone 17 é só o começo, NASA e Google criam IA para cuidar da saúde de astronautas no espaço e Xiaomi lança umidificador que não faz barulho e nem solta vapor. Este podcast foi roteirizado e apresentado por Fernanda Santos e contou com reportagens de Nathan Vieira, André Lourenti, Renato Moura, João Melo e Bruno Bertonzin. A trilha sonora é de Guilherme Zomer, a edição de Jully Cruz e a arte da capa é de Erick Teixeira.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textEnterprise IT decisions carry enormous financial and strategic weight, and analyst firms like Gartner, Forrester, and IDC play a pivotal role in shaping them. Yet despite the influence of their research, many IT and business leaders struggle to use it effectively. Too often, organizations rely on reprints or surface-level summaries without grasping the full context or limitations. When properly interpreted, analyst insights can significantly reduce risk, streamline decisions, and steer companies away from costly mistakes. But unlocking that value requires more than just access—it demands a clear understanding of how to translate dense reports into actionable guidance that aligns with specific business needs.In this episode, Sam Gupta engages in a LinkedIn live session with Carter Lusher—an industry analyst veteran with experience on both sides of the table, as a former Gartner and Ovum analyst, in a live LinkedIn session as they discuss the consumer's guide to IT industry analyst research and advice.Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs. rocks or elevatiq.com.

Is generative AI just another tool in the belt, or is it a fundamental transformation of the developer profession? We kick off a two-part special to get to the bottom of how AI is impacting the enterprise. SADA's Associate CTO of AI & ML, Simon Margolis, sits down with Ameer Abbas, Senior Product Manager at Google Cloud, for an insider's look at the future of software development. They cut through the noise to discuss how tools like Gemini Code Assist are moving beyond simple code completion to augment the entire software delivery lifecycle, solving real-world challenges and changing the way we think about productivity, quality, and automation. In this episode, you'll learn: What Gemini Code Assist is and the broad range of developer personas it serves. The critical debate: Is AI augmenting developer skills or automating their jobs? How to leverage AI for practical enterprise challenges like application modernization, improving test coverage, and tackling technical debt. Why the focus is shifting from developer productivity to overall software delivery performance. Ameer's perspective on the future of development careers and why students should lean into AI, not fear it. The limitations of "vibe coding" and the need for intentional, high-quality AI prompting in a corporate environment.   Join us for more content by liking, sharing, and subscribing!

IDC's Ryan Reith argues that although there is no critical use case for AI PCs today, such devices will bring increased security and efficiency. He says that not everyone will need an AI PC, but they will be key to the future of work and that education of IT, management and employees will be key to success.
