vasuman · x · 2026-07-11
This article discusses a counterintuitive judgment: the biggest winners in AI may not be companies with the largest engineering teams, biggest data teams, or highest software budgets.
The author argues that the true beneficiaries could be low-margin companies, because AI tends to 'flatten' the advantages of high-margin software, giving greater efficiency gains to businesses with lower profit margins and heavier processes. The post title emphasizes: AI's biggest winners might be companies with the lowest profit margins.
