AI homogeneity threatens business uniqueness as companies adopt identical models
By
Manu De Buck
Summary
This opinion piece argues that when all companies rely on the same AI language models, they risk losing their unique competitive edge and strategic differentiation. The author uses the example of the US government forcing Anthropic to block non-American access to its most powerful models, sparking debate about geopolitical AI competition. However, the core concern is that homogenized AI adoption leads to homogenized business thinking, where companies receive identical advice and make identical decisions, eroding what makes each business distinct.
