AI shifts towards enterprise

OpenAI walked away from a billion-dollar Disney deal, signalling where AI value is moving.



OpenAI walked away from a billion-dollar Disney deal and shut down Sora. Not because of funding, but because the real opportunity now lies elsewhere: enterprise AI.
 

At the same time, Anthropic is moving fast. Agents that can operate systems. Models with advanced cybersecurity capabilities. 

AI is shifting from consumer hype to business infrastructure. For leaders shaping an AI roadmap, this changes the priorities.
