But the transformation raises a key question: Are these companies fundamentally changing what they do, or merely how they describe themselves? Looking back at the top firms' actions and rhetoric over the past year makes clear just how central AI has become to the consulting business.

Machine and agent identities already outnumber human ones by more than 100 to 1 in a typical enterprise, and that ratio is climbing every time a team ships a new agent workflow.
