Why OpenAI and Anthropic Are Becoming Consultants
5/5/202626 min
OpenAI and Anthropic are moving deeper into enterprise AI services, but NLW argues the real story is organizational readiness. The episode explores why “buy and hope” AI adoption keeps failing, why power users get blocked by company structures, and why the next phase of AI deployment requires leaders to redesign how work gets done. In the headlines: White House AI model review, new lab access agreements, and AI safety oversight.

Today in the AI Daily Brief, as Anthropic and OpenAI both launch consulting ventures, we talk about why there is no AI transformation without org transformation. Before that, in the headlines, is the White House about to make a major reversal in its AI policy? The AI Daily Brief is a daily podcast and video about the most important news and discussions in AI.
