Microsoft is rolling out its Copilot 365 AI assistant to all of Accenture’s roughly 743,000 employees. Reuters notes that Accenture is one of the most aggressive corporate adopters of AI, and has even tied top-level promotions to usage of the technology. The latest move is further to Accenture’s plan in 2024 to deploy Copilot ?to as many as 300,000 staff. Almost all (97%) of employees said Copilot helped them complete routine tasks up to 15 times faster, and more than half ?(53%) reported major gains in productivity, according to a company ?poll of ?200,000 users. “Our teams are already doing higher-value work because of it,” Accenture CEO Julie Sweet said.
