Why OpenAI and Anthropic Are Becoming Consultants
About this episode
<p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>Check out the new <strong>AI Executive Catch-Up Program </strong>from <strong>AIDB Training: </strong><a href="https://aiexecutivecatchup.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://aiexecutivecatchup.com/</a></p><p><strong>April AI Usage Pulse Survey: </strong><a href="https://tally.so/r/LZEyGy" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://tally.so/r/LZEyGy</a></p><p><strong>Brought to you by:</strong></p><p><strong>KPMG</strong> – Agentic AI is powering a potential $3 trillion productivity shift, and KPMG’s new paper, <em>Agentic AI Untangled</em>, gives leaders a clear framework to decide whether to build, buy, or borrow—download it at <a href="http://www.kpmg.us/Navigate" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.kpmg.us/Navigate</a></p><p><strong>Rackspace Technology</strong> – Run Palantir Foundry and AIP in production with a governed managed operating model <a href="https://www.rackspace.com/palantir" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.rackspace.com/palantir</a></p><p><strong>Granola - </strong>The AI notepad for people in back-to-back meetings. 100% off your first 3 months with code AIDAILY at <a href="http://granola.ai/aidaily" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">http://granola.ai/aidaily</a></p><p><strong>Mercury</strong> - Modern banking for business and now personal accounts.
