Scale Venture Partners shifts focus from SaaS to AI investment strategies. Founder Rory O’Driscoll notes that 80% of current deals include AI components, reflecting a significant change in their approach. O'Driscoll highlights the challenging environment for cloud computing investments, which he identified as early as 2019. He compares the transition from SaaS to AI to a new S-curve that may take a decade for businesses to fully integrate AI across operations. He emphasizes the importance of understanding enterprise success in AI applications, noting the need to recognize its probabilistic nature.

O'Driscoll identifies three historical waves of AI investment: the first in the late 1990s, focusing on neural networks and natural language processing; the second around 2015, highlighting robotics, computer vision, and predictive analytics; and the third wave starting after ChatGPT's launch, with emerging startups gaining traction. He acknowledges potential short-term challenges in AI growth but maintains an optimistic long-term perspective, forecasting that no software will lack AI integration in the coming decade.
