Uber Caps AI Tool Usage to Control Costs

Uber Technologies is implementing limits on its employees' use of certain artificial intelligence tools, including Claude Code. This decision stems from the company exceeding its allocated AI budget in the early part of the year. By capping usage, Uber aims to gain better control over its expenses related to these advanced technologies. The move reflects a growing trend among companies to balance the adoption of powerful AI capabilities with the need for financial prudence and efficient resource management.
