Now, correlation isn't cause. Maybe the AI users were just more productive. But the gap held up after the usual controls, so it's worth a look. And it doesn't stop at individuals. Same pattern for the team, the company, the board.

Strong thesis, and a platform pitch. Both can be true. And "not dependent on one model" is not the same as "not dependent on one vendor." Is your company building that asset, or renting it? #ai #boardgovernance #corporategovernance

One thing a board should also notice. Nadella sells Azure. The sovereign, model-independent loop he describes is one you build in his cloud, with your proprietary data and learning living there.

Robert Maciejko @4maciejko.bsky.social · 15/06/2026
If your institutional knowledge lives inside a model that can vanish, that is a board-level exposure, not a tech footnote. So the board questions: does your company own that learning loop, or is it renting value from a model it does not control? And who on the board is accountable for the answer?

Robert Maciejko @4maciejko.bsky.social · 15/06/2026
His test of sovereignty: could you swap out a generalist model without losing the "company veteran" expertise built into your systems? Not theoretical. We just watched a frontier model, Anthropic's Fable 5, get switched off within days of launch.

And spend is an input, not an outcome. Nobody's index tells you whether that $7,449 became real output or just a bigger invoice. The question isn't "are we spending like the top 1%." It's "what are we getting for it." Most companies still can't answer that. #ai #artificialintelligence
