Wants to create digital employees

CEO Jensen Huang and Accenture CEO Julie Sweet announced a transformative partnership that they claim will reshape the landscape of artificial intelligence in business.

The cunning plan is to “deploy AI agents across corporations to usher in a new era of digital productivity.”

Huang and Sweet appeared together on CNBC’s Closing Bell Overtime.

Huang said: “ We’re seeing the beginning of the next and largest wave of AI, which is about companies worldwide using AI to become more productive.”

He highlighted the concept of AI as “digital employees” or “co-pilots,” terms that are gaining traction in the corporate world to describe AI-powered assistants designed to augment human capabilities.

The Nvidia chief outlined two key operating systems at the heart of this AI revolution:

Nemo: A system for large language models, forming the backbone of their AI factory work.

Omniverse: A platform that represents digital information in space and time.

While powerful, these technologies require a bridge to connect them with practical business outcomes. This is where Accenture’s expertise comes into play.

Sweet said that Accenture had developed a new platform called AI Refinery. This innovative tool is designed to help customers build AI agents, co-pilots, and tools that can access proprietary information, perform tasks, and drive productivity.

“We have a million square feet of using space where we produce customised automation robotics,” she said. By leveraging Nvidia’s AI Foundry and Omniverse technologies, Accenture has reduced the design time for these customised robotic automations by an impressive 50 per cent.

Recently, Accenture launched the Accenture Nvidia Business Group, training 30,000 professionals globally to help clients scale AI adoption. This initiative will integrate with other Accenture Business Groups to accelerate AI across the SaaS and Cloud AI ecosystem.
