Accenture Plc has begun training its workforce of over 700,000 employees in agentic AI, as the consulting major moves to meet rising client demand.
The initiative, launched this month, introduces staff to the fundamentals of the technology, according to CEO Julie Sweet.
“Every new wave of technology has a time where you have to train and retool,” Sweet said. “Accenture’s core competency is to do that at scale.”
More companies are adopting agentic AI — systems capable of working independently to execute complex tasks. In response to this rising demand, Accenture has been expanding its AI capabilities and scaling its offerings across industries.
