It’s no secret that senior executives at Fortune 500 companies today are very focused on adapting their businesses to AI. Paul Daugherty, the CTO of consulting giant Accenture, has one important piece of advice: “Invest more in the people than in the technology.”

Speaking at Fortune‘s Brainstorm AI conference in San Francisco, Paul explained why he believes it’s critical for businesses to focus on helping their employees adapt to the changes that artificial intelligence will bring to the workplace.

According to Paul, effective use of AI technology calls for smart prompts and keeping humans involved in the AI process. Prompt engineering, how people talk to the AI, and having humans in the loop, adds a bit of human wisdom to handle the technology.

But Paul said that that the adoption of AI by businesses will lead to some job “consolidation”: The productivity gains of AI mean fewer people will be needed to perform the same tasks.
