Deloitte goes all in on AI - despite having to issue a hefty refund for use of AI | TechCrunch
"Professional services and consultant firm Deloitte announced a landmark AI enterprise deal with Anthropic the same day it was revealed the company would issue a refund for a government-contracted report that contained inaccurate AI-produced slop. The upshot: Deloitte's deal with Anthropic is a referendum on its commitment to AI, even as it grapples with the technology. And Deloitte is not alone in this challenge."
"The department had commissioned a A$439,000 "independent assurance review" from Deloitte, which was published earlier this year. The Australian Financial Review reported in August the review had a number of errors, including multiple citations to non-existent academic reports. A corrected version of the review was uploaded to the department's website last week. Deloitte will repay the final installment of its government contract, the FT reported."
"Deloitte announced Monday plans roll out Anthropic's chatbot Claude to its nearly 500,000 global employees on Monday. Deloitte and Anthropic, which formed a partnership last year, plan to create compliance products and features for regulated industries including financial services, healthcare and public services, according to an Anthropic blog post. Deloitte also plans to create different AI agent "personas" to represent the different departments within the company including accountants and software developers, according to reporting from CNBC."
Deloitte finalized a significant enterprise agreement to deploy Anthropic's Claude chatbot across nearly 500,000 global employees and to build compliance products and AI agent personas for regulated industries including financial services, healthcare and public services. The rollout announcement coincided with the Australia Department of Employment and Workplace Relations requiring Deloitte to refund the final installment of a A$439,000 independent assurance review after the review contained errors such as citations to non-existent academic reports; a corrected version was uploaded to the department's website. Deloitte and Anthropic formed a partnership last year and plan tailored AI features for regulated sectors.
