Google Cloud and Accenture said this week they will train up to 1,000 engineers to work inside customer companies on AI projects. The job is not building models. It is rewiring workflows and getting teams to change how they work.

The Signal  — This is the quiet admission that enterprise AI does not install like software. If you are budgeting an AI rollout, the model license is the cheap part. The expensive part is the months of process work and the people who do it, on your payroll or a consultant's invoice. What to watch: Watch whether firms start naming this labor cost up front in AI pitches, or keep it buried in a services line nobody reads.
