| Tech CEO gives the clearest sign yet about what will happen to staff as AI rolls out |
| 2025-09-30 |
| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A tech giant is sending a clear message — employees must learn to use artificial intelligence or lose their job. Accenture, a consulting and tech services firm that helps companies, said it will lay off staff that don't know how to use AI. It's the latest company to completely revamp its hiring strategies as computers begin to spit out work that looks like a human's. The company's CEO, Julie Sweet, told investors on Thursday that as AI becomes 'a part of everything we do.' It's spent $865million in the past three months to retrain the 550,000-person workforce, including on severance packages for employees that didn't make the cut. The company said the investment will save $1billion. That has allowed Accenture to hire 37,000 more AI and data professionals. 'Our early investment in AI is really paying off,' Sweet told CNBC. 'AI is critical to the future.' Last week, Morgan Stanley said 'agentic' AI models will help companies slash nearly $1trillion from their budgets. |
