US corporations restrict employee AI access and push cheaper models as costs surge
By
Martin Holland
Summary
Major US corporations including Atlassian, Adobe, Amazon, and Citigroup are reversing their previous push for AI adoption and now actively restricting employee access to AI models to cut costs. Internal documents reveal companies are blocking access to newer, more expensive AI models (like those from Anthropic and OpenAI) and directing employees to use older, cheaper alternatives for routine tasks. Citigroup temporarily suspended access to advanced AI models entirely and issued guidance on which model to use for which task. This marks a significant reversal from just months ago when these same companies were encouraging maximum AI usage.
