00:02Accenture CEO Julie Sweet said artificial intelligence proficiency is now required
00:06for employee promotions, according to comments on the Rapid Response podcast.
00:11Sweet said employees must demonstrate AI competency to advance, and noted the company
00:16gave staff three years to adapt to AI tools before making it a requirement.
00:20The policy follows an earlier move to require AI usage for senior promotions.
00:25Accenture requires AI proficiency across its workforce,
00:28but broader adoption across companies remains limited.
00:31A Gallup poll found only 38% of companies had integrated AI to improve workplace productivity,
00:37efficiency, and quality by the fourth quarter of 2025.
00:41Accenture also expanded a strategic partnership with Google Cloud to address AI-driven cyber threats.
