Accenture is venturing into the domain of artificial intelligence with a substantial investment of $3 billion, which will be allocated over a span of 3 years.
The consulting business intends to expand its workforce dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI) by increasing it to a total of 80,000 employees.
This expansion will be achieved by a strategic approach including training initiatives, recruitment efforts, and acquisitions.

These models will be supported by a client-facing platform that aims to aid organizations in the enhancement and optimization of their AI initiatives.
This strategic maneuver is in line with the overarching pattern of corporations integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into their business activities.
So positioning consulting firms in a crucial position to provide novel and valuable solutions in response to the increasing need for in-house AI knowledge and capabilities.
