This week's news raises two questions about AI at work. Who checks the work, and who can stop the agent?

Anthropic, the company behind Claude, updated its filing to list on Nasdaq as ANT. The price and the date are not set. A tool many teams use every day could soon belong to a public company. That makes it a supplier to watch like any other.

Miro surveyed more than 9,500 leaders and employees. Seventy-three percent say AI made their output faster. Fifty-nine percent now have more AI output to review. The answers are self-reported, and Miro sells AI tools. Checking the work is now part of the job.

CrowdStrike launched an AI kill switch for its Falcon Guardian customers. An administrator can stop a running agent and keep it from restarting. The agent also loses its network access. The company has published no test results, and part of the tool is still to come.

Our field note on a bigger AI team gives an example. A proposal written in ten minutes can still wait three days for one approval.

Know your supplier, count the review time, and decide who can switch the agent off. Sources are on inocta.io.
