A former IBM strategist is challenging the tech industry's push to sell artificial intelligence as a solution for ageing legacy IT systems, arguing the economics of such modernisation efforts do not hold up. Vendors have been pitching AI as a cure-all for outdated infrastructure, but the critique suggests the costs and complexity may outweigh the benefits, prompting debate about realistic approaches to modernisation.
Why now: Enterprises are under pressure to modernise legacy systems and AI is being heavily marketed as the answer, so a sceptical expert view from an industry insider is drawing attention.
