In-house AI: Deloitte employees turn to bots for low-skill tasks | Canada – Daily Hive
Deloitte is taking the expression “time is money” to heart with its new AI innovation.
What happened: Consulting firm Deloitte has rolled out a generative AI chatbot to employees across Europe and the Middle East. The chatbot is an in-house tool designed to cut down workers’ time spent on low-skill tasks, per the Financial Times.

Why it matters: Companies across consulting, law, and finance — where employees’ time is, in and of itself, the primary service they sell — are increasingly turning to AI to free up their workers’ capacity for more high-level tasks to boost productivity and cut costs.
Yes, but: PairD, like most AI tools, can sometimes churn out less-than-reliable information, an issue left to employees who have to verify the accuracy of the chatbot’s final work.
What’s next: Only 20% of Canadian businesses with more than 100 employees have already adopted AI, but that number is bound to grow in 2024 as businesses try to keep pace with companies in the U.S. integrating the technology at a much higher clip.
