Atlassian CEO Cannon-Brookes Pushes Back on AI Threat to SaaS Businesses

Atlassian co-founder and CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes spoke with The Verge's Decoder podcast about how artificial intelligence is reshaping the software-as-a-service industry. Atlassian, known for workplace tools like Jira and Trello, sits at the center of debates over whether AI will render such platforms obsolete — a scenario some have dubbed the 'SaaSpocalypse.' Cannon-Brookes argued that AI is actually driving increased usage of Atlassian's tools rather than undermining them, while acknowledging it has also forced changes within the company. Atlassian conducted a round of layoffs earlier this year, with Cannon-Brookes citing the need for a different mix of skills as AI transforms software development. He also pushed back on peers who believe AI will eliminate broad categories of workplace roles, calling for a more nuanced view of what the technology can and cannot do.

Engram groovebox uses on-device AI to generate experimental, glitchy music

Music startup Thoughtful Things has launched a Kickstarter campaign for Engram, its debut hardware instrument. The device is a sampler and groovebox that uses a locally run, custom-trained AI model to manipulate audio and generate entirely new sounds.
