Scheduled to be operational by January 2024, the studios in Argentina and Mexico will join the network later in the year.
This expansion is part of Accenture’s $3bn investment in data and AI.
Recently, the company has also announced the launch of specialised services to assist clients in developing their own large language models, tailored to their business requirements.
Accenture Growth Markets data and AI lead Vivek Luthra said: “Harnessing the true potential of generative AI lies in going deeper, and building a strong data strategy, anchored in a digital core including a modern cloud and [enterprise resource planning] ERP infrastructure, and mature data and AI capabilities.
“Our generative AI Studios strengthen our existing investments in data and AI to provide our clients with a full spectrum of capabilities to build and scale AI to improve productivity and drive growth.”
