AI/Tech impact on PE fundraising in other sectors

Wanted to get folks' thoughts on how AI risk to software+ general PE challenges might impact fundraising. Do you think funds pitching "regulated services" eg healthcare or financials, or industrials and infra-adjacent (ie not real infra funds) could see larger than expected fundraise rounds over the next couple years?

Obviously track record is king, so putting that aside. 

Any guesses as to which sectors might see the biggest outsized benefits if any? Or general risk of downraises?

Anyone with a non deleted answer that can answer? Curious as junior looking to enter PE.
