Part 3/8:
As AI tools become more integrated into programming practices, the costs associated with software engineering are likely to decrease significantly. This reduction can have profound implications for business models, particularly between regions like the United States and China. In the U.S., the prevalence of platform-as-a-service (PaaS) companies such as Salesforce indicates a market that favors standardized solutions. In contrast, China's lower engineering costs have led to a preference for developing custom solutions, as the expense of creating tailored systems becomes trivial due to the affordability of skilled labor.
