What the Data Actually Says
- Kratsios appearance on Moonshots podcast with Peter Diamandis - Report from Firstpost - Industry analyst observations on corporate restructuring coinciding with automation spending - Reference to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos comments on automation risk exaggeration
