   'AI is making us able to develop software at the speed of light': Mistral CEO   
   claims more than 50% of enterprise software could soon switch to AI   
      
   By Craig Hale published 2 hours ago   
      
   Is AI set to replace traditional enterprise apps?   
      
       Enterprises are "replatforming," switching from traditional apps to AI,   
   says Mistral CEO   
       Arthur Mensch notes many need the "right infrastructure in place" to get   
   any real success out of AI   
       Gaps could emerge to separate companies that use AI versus those that don't   
      
   Mistral AI CEO Arthur Mensch predicts that more than half of current enterprise   
   SaaS software could be replaced by AI tools, raising questions and investor   
   concerns over traditional software.   
      
   Mensch explained how, with the "right infrastructure in place" (and that's an   
   ongoing issue at the moment, per various other reports and studies),   
   enterprises can easily and quickly built custom AI-driven applications to   
   automate workflows without having to rely on traditional, third-party vendors.   
      
   He described this as a "replatforming" trend, where businesses are now faced   
   with deciding between legacy IT systems and AI-powered alternatives.   
      
   Are traditional workplace apps being replaced by AI?   
      
   "AI is making us able to develop software at the speed of light," Mensch said   
   in an interview with CNBC.   
      
   While emerging "replatforming" is clearly a threat to traditional vendors who   
   risk being left behind, Mistral AI is clearly not worried about this.   
      
   Quite the opposite. "The replatforming is a big opportunity for us," he said,   
   "because we now have more than 100 enterprise customers coming to us also with   
   that will of maybe changing and replatforming their IT system."   
      
   However, traditional software versus custom AI apps won't be the only   
   difference we could be set to see. A gap between companies with the right   
   infrastructure and those without will also emerge, because infrastructure   
   refers to far more than just servers.   
      
   Enterprises also need solid, clean data foundations, the right cloud and   
   compute layer, top-notch security and of course a skilled workforce - and   
   these are all challenges that companies consistently face when implementing AI.   
      
   While Mensch's comments about replacing traditional apps with AI give us a good   
   idea of what's to come, it's clear that the companies set to see the most   
   success will be the ones to implement that "right infrastructure" to set the   
   foundations of growth.
