AI will become a stepping stone to progress. If you want a promotion at Accenture, you will have to learn Artificial Intelligence..

Everyone is worried that, since the advent of AI, many people have lost their jobs. However, it's worth noting that AI can actually lead to job losses, but it can also help you save your job and get a promotion. Are you surprised that the very thing that causes job losses can also lead to promotions? Accenture has begun tracking staff's use of AI tools and will consider this when deciding on top promotions, as the consulting firm strives to increase the use of technology within its workforce.

According to an internal email obtained by the Financial Times, the company told senior managers and associate directors that regular adoption of artificial intelligence will be necessary to be promoted to leadership roles. According to the Financial Times report, the consultancy has also begun collecting data on weekly logins to AI tools by some senior staff members.

Accenture previously stated that 550,000 of its 780,000 employees have been trained in generative AI. The company announced that it is training all employees as part of a $1 billion (£740m) annual learning expenditure.

The tools being monitored include the Accenture AI Refinery. Chief Executive Julie Sweet previously stated that this will provide companies with opportunities to rethink their processes and operations, discover new ways of working, and scale AI solutions across the enterprise, helping them continuously transform and create value.

Good December Results
The company's rapid advance in AI reflects a larger industry trend of businesses using machine learning tools to help them perform certain tasks faster. Accenture reported better-than-expected results for its first quarter in December, boosted by demand for its AI-driven services.
