Monthly Macro: AI Anxiety, Software Selloffs, and the Search for Winners

The William Blair Thinking Podcast

About
William Blair macro analyst Richard de Chazal and co-head of technology, media, and communications research, Jason Ader, unpack the sharp selloff in software stocks and the growing fear around AI-driven disruption. They explore why the “software apocalypse” narrative may be overblown, how AI could ultimately expand the software market, and what investors should watch as winners and losers begin to separate.
