Microsoft Corporation and KPMG International Limited have signed a landmark agreement that will put artificial intelligence (AI) at the front line of their professional services. Moreover, the companies entered into a multiple-year cloud and AI deal to advance staff experience while also hastening innovation for customers in the fields of audit, tax, and advisory.
As per Fox Business, a lot has already been written and said about how AI may affect jobs not only in the tech sector but in other fields as well. With reviews like the one carried out by McKinsey & Company, it was discovered that 25% of current job tasks in the United States may become automated. Industry experts also believe that AI will free up some of the employees’ “to-do’s” so they can work more on high-level tasks.
Now, with Microsoft and KPMG joining other tech firms such as IBM, Intel, Nvidia, and Google that are competing for AI dominance, their cooperation on AI may open billions in growth potential in cybersecurity, tax services, and cloud computing business areas.
“Our renewed and strengthened relationship with Microsoft is an exciting moment for our people and our clients,” KPMG International’s global chairman and chief executive officer, Bill Thomas, said in a press release. “It will help harness the power of our multidisciplinary model by ensuring that our people always have the right expertise, skills, and tools to overcome challenges and provide the very best advice to clients.”
He added that the partnership will “also help make KPMG a more agile and resilient business that continues to be an interesting and exciting place to work.”
Microsoft’s chairman and CEO, Satya Nadella, further stated, “We have a real opportunity to apply this next generation of AI to help transform every industry, including professional services and our expanded partnership with KPMG will bring together AI innovation across the Microsoft Cloud with KPMG’s tax, audit and advisory expertise to empower its employees and unlock insights for its customers.”
