Accenture cuts about 12,000 jobs as it restructures for the age of artificial intelligence.
The consulting giant booked $865 million in charges, largely tied to severance, and expects more than $1 billion in savings.
CEO Julie Sweet says employees unable to reskill for AI roles are being exited, while others are rapidly retrained.
Despite the layoffs, Accenture plans to expand its workforce again by 2026, underscoring how AI is reshaping corporate strategy at scale.
