Why OpenAI and Anthropic Are Becoming Consultants

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. Alright, friends. Quick announcements before we dive in. First of all, thank you to today's sponsors, KPMG, Granola, Superintelligent, and Rackspace. To get an ad free version of the show, go to patreon.com/aidailybrief, or you can subscribe on Apple Podcasts. To learn more about sponsoring the show, send us a note at sponsors@aidailybrief.ai. Couple other things you can do at a I daily brief dot a I. First, we have up our latest AI usage pulse survey. This is a monthly survey we do. It should take less than three minutes to go through, and it's all about providing better information around how AI is actually being used, how that's changing.

And for those who aren't quite ready for an agent building program, we've put together a new four week executive catch up program that is designed to radically accelerate executives who are feeling behind on AI overall. You can find that again linked from the AI Daily Brief website or at aidbtraining.com. Now with that out of the way, let's talk about this shift from the White House. We have a bit of a weird one today. I've worked up a full normal plan for the headlines with some extended emphasis on this White House AI betting story, but between when I was preparing and when I started recording, we got more information that has basically forced me to do a not all that common effective double main show. We don't have all the information yet, so we will come back and explore this as is necessary with additional information later in the week, but let's talk about the White House and their changing relationship with AI. Yesterday, the New York Times reported that the administration was weighing up a vetting process that would put …
