Claude AI did six months of work in minutes: Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood says it’s just the start

Anthropic’s Claude AI has been hailed as a game-changer by Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood, especially after one of her finance team members used it to finish several automation projects in minutes. Wood revealed that these tasks had been queued up for nearly six months.

Wood described the moment as reminiscent of the early personal computer revolution in the 1980s, when basic tools began transforming office work. She explained that a team member was “blown away” by Claude’s speed and quality while automating pending workflows independently, even as the firm continued relying on established systems like Palantir.
