David Sambur, Co-Head of Private Equity at Apollo Global Management, warned that the software sector faces ongoing disruptions from artificial intelligence due to "very large unknowns."

This persistent uncertainty continues to weigh on the broader sector's ability to sustain a meaningful recovery.
