AI is transforming software development, but should every company really aim to become "AI First"? Gustaf Nilstadius, AI Lead at Redpill Linpro, argues that AI should be treated as a powerful tool rather than a goal in itself. The conversation explores when traditional, deterministic code can be cheaper, safer and more transparent than an LLM, and the risks of building critical business processes around external AI providers. They also discuss data ownership, costs, digital sovereignty and what happens if models change, disappear or become unavailable. The key question for every new AI initiative: do we really need AI for this?
