Accenture is restricting the use of artificial intelligence by its employees
In recent years, interest and investment in artificial intelligence technologies in the global technology market have increased to an unprecedented level. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
However, the initial excitement is now being replaced by strict economic calculations. Many large corporations, concerned about the rapid depletion of budgets due to the unjustified use of AI resources by employees, have begun to introduce special restrictions.
Techcrunch.com reports on this. According to a report published by 404 Media, Accenture, one of the world's largest consulting firms, is bringing the use of AI services by its employees under strict control.
Company management is urging employees not to spend expensive computing units on small and insignificant tasks, such as converting PDF documents into simple presentation slides. This situation shows a sharp shift in the policy of a company that, a few months ago, threatened employees with a lack of promotion for not using AI tools.
Computing units crisis and economic efficiency: Justice Kwak, head of AI strategy at Accenture, admitted during an internal meeting that AI costs have begun to seriously impact the company's overall financial structure. According to him, costs are growing unexpectedly, and now executives at the level of the CFO and CIO are openly questioning whether the spent funds are justifying themselves.
AI models, particularly ChatGPT or other large language models, consume a certain amount of computing units for each request. Previously, companies had even introduced internal rating systems to encourage employees to adopt these technologies.
However, in practice, the use of AI tools for minor tasks that could easily be performed by human effort, rather than for solving complex problems, is leading to significant financial losses. Market decline and future prospects: This trend is affecting not only individual companies but the entire technology market.
In recent days, a decline in the share prices of companies linked to the AI sector, especially memory chip manufacturers, has been observed. Analysts are calling this an AI sales slump, as investors are now focusing not just on the new technology, but on its ability to generate concrete revenue.
At the current stage, the AI industry has moved past its new and exciting phase and has reached a stage where it must prove its economic value. While the corporate sector in the Uzbekistan market is also gradually implementing AI tools, global experience shows that quality and economic efficiency, rather than quantity, are of paramount importance in the use of the technology.
