Talking point: Accenture isn’t the first major consulting firm to invest in AI as interest in the field reaches new heights. Deloitte recently partnered with chipmaker Nvidia to launch AI computing services and PwC made a US$1-billion investment over three years in AI (its counterpart PwC Canada has committed $200 million). Earlier this year, Bain & Company partnered with ChatGPT developer OpenAI. The industry’s AI push comes even as consulting firms like Accenture axe thousands of jobs amid the downturn.
