Anaplan CEO: AI splits software into user interface and auditable computation layers

Anaplan CEO, Frank Calderoni, argues that the narrative of AI consuming all software is an oversimplification. He posits that enterprise software is bifurcating into two distinct layers: probabilistic Large Language Models (LLMs) for user interaction and deterministic computational engines for auditable decision-making. LLMs are commoditizing the user interface, while a new layer, the Deterministic Domain Authority (DDA), is becoming crucial for verifiable enterprise computations. AI

IMPACT Suggests a fundamental shift in enterprise software architecture, where LLMs handle user interaction and specialized deterministic engines manage critical computations.
