The value of AI deployment is better measured by the quality \u2014 not the quantity \u2014 of agents, he said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"1770993084686\" data-styles=\"default-width\" data-embed-type=\"custom\" data-script=\"\/\/embed.typeform.com\/next\/embed.js\" class=\"insider-raw-embed\" data-type=\"embed\">\n<div data-tf-live=\"01KEYWXWNGAX9X498G9BJDYJXB\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Sternfels first talked about his firm&#8217;s onboarding of <a target=\"_self\" class href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/mckinsey-chief-ai-cutting-adding-jobs-growth-ai-agents-2026-1\" data-track-click=\"{&quot;element_name&quot;:&quot;body_link&quot;,&quot;event&quot;:&quot;tout_click&quot;,&quot;index&quot;:&quot;bi_value_unassigned&quot;,&quot;product_field&quot;:&quot;bi_value_unassigned&quot;}\" rel>tens of thousands of agents<\/a> in January at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

In the next year and a half, every one of its 40,000 human employees will be &#8220;enabled by at least one or more agents,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>AI has rapidly <a target=\"_self\" class href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/consulting-ai-mckinsey-bcg-deloitte-pwc-kpmg-chatbots-ai-tools-2025-4\" data-track-click=\"{&quot;element_name&quot;:&quot;body_link&quot;,&quot;event&quot;:&quot;tout_click&quot;,&quot;index&quot;:&quot;bi_value_unassigned&quot;,&quot;product_field&quot;:&quot;bi_value_unassigned&quot;}\" rel>reshaped the consulting industry<\/a> in recent years.
