Accenture to Train 700,000 Staffers in Agentic AI

Accenture is training over 700,000 staff members in agentic artificial intelligence to meet client demand. The company started coaching staff in the basics of the technology in January. Accenture's CEO, Julie Sweet, said that every new wave of technology requires training and retooling, and that the company's core competency is to do this at scale. Accenture is scaling up its AI offering in response to increasing demand for agentic AI systems that can work autonomously to complete sophisticated tasks.
