Consulting Firms Race to Meet Surging Client Demand for AI Services

Consulting companies like Accenture, McKinsey, and PwC are racing to build their AI offerings as client demand grows.

Firms aim to help clients adopt AI and are acquiring startups, hiring, and training workers on the technology.

Demand for AI skills has surged - LinkedIn job posts mentioning AI are up 21x since ChatGPT's launch.

Firms like KPMG and EY are investing billions to focus on AI - EY trained 5,000 workers in just a few months.

Consulting giants need "AI rainmakers" to convince clients to spend millions on AI projects.
