Glonghui Jan 6 | Consulting giant Accenture has agreed to acquire Faculty, a UK-based artificial intelligence startup with close ties to the government. This move is a key part of the consulting giant's efforts to reshape its leadership position in the AI sector. Like its large peers, Accenture is restructuring around generative AI. This technology is seen as a powerful tool for boosting productivity, but it also carries the risk of replacing some modern consulting jobs. CEO Julie Sweet has stated that she is training 500,000 employees in this technology, and informed shareholders in September that she is laying off those unable to transition to AI-related roles. Rival McKinsey also recently announced plans to cut 200 technology positions globally, partly due to automation. According to sources, in response to slowing revenue growth, McKinsey ultimately plans to reduce about 10% of its global workforce.
