OpenAI and Anthropic Just Admitted AI Isn’t Magic

If AI is supposed to replace human productivity, why are OpenAI and Anthropic spending billions to build human-led services companies? In this episode of Leading Change in the Wild, I break down the back-to-back announcements from OpenAI and Anthropic to launch venture-backed consulting and implementation firms designed to help companies adopt AI. And hidden inside these announcements is a quiet admission. AI is not a magic wand. Because despite all the hype around instant productivity and “AI-first” transformation, companies are running into the same problem technology implementations have always faced. The people side of change. Here’s what I unpack:

Why OpenAI and Anthropic are launching AI-focused services companies
The real reason enterprise AI adoption has been so difficult
How the “AI magic wand” narrative is colliding with reality
Why buying AI tools without strategy creates confusion and waste
The ongoing gap between technology implementation and true transformation
Why leadership, training, and communication matter more than ever
The danger of skipping over change management in the rush to adopt AI

The takeaway is clear. AI alone will not transform your business. Real transformation happens when technology, leadership, process, and people work together. This is not just a technology conversation. It is a leadership one. Because the companies that win with AI will not be the ones that adopt it the fastest. They will be the ones that adopt it with the most intention. 👇 Let’s discuss:

What do these new AI services companies signal to you?
Is your organization focused more on technology or strategy?
Do you think most companies are prepared for the people side of AI adoption?
