Policy Shifts, AI Layoffs, and the Reality Check for Enterprise AI

In today’s episode of AI in Flow, Claire and Peter unpack a fast-moving mix of AI signals: a key White House AI adviser steps down as Washington debates what public “ownership” of major AI firms could look like; new data shows AI is now the most-cited driver of US layoffs; and Starbucks shelves an AI inventory system after accuracy issues hit the shop floor. They also cover Google Drive’s on-device AI document scanning, Anthropic expanding cybersecurity support in India, rising community backlash to data-centre water and land use, and reports that Apple may accelerate the shift away from Intel Macs with deeper on-device AI. Plus: two small stories that show how AI is quietly reshaping professional services and frontline healthcare.About Six & FlowSix & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.
