Accenture to lay off staff unable to adapt to AI roles
Accenture announced a broader restructuring plan to align itself with an increasingly AI-driven world. It has decided to "exit" employees who cannot be retrained for the age of AI. "We are exiting, on a compressed timeline, people where re-skilling-based on our experience is not a viable path for the skills we need," CEO Julie Sweet said in a post-earnings call.
