## Summary

Former IDC president Crawford Del Prete says AI is automating individual workflow tasks in companies, but productivity gains are not yet visible in the numbers. He says organizations have not changed how work is wired, which makes the impact uneven. The discussion also covers Anthropic's S-1, which reports $16 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026 and $132 billion in liquid assets.
