Kate Jensen (Anthropic): "2025 Was a Failure of Approach"
Story
Anthropic's head of Americas delivered the most honest post-mortem of 2025 enterprise AI: "2025 was meant to be the year agents transformed the enterprise, but the hype turned out to be mostly premature. It wasn't a failure of effort. It was a failure of approach." The approach that failed: "too generic, too hard to control, or too insecure." Thomson Reuters surged 11% post-briefing; IBM fell 13.2% (worst since 2000). (TechCrunch)
