A new dashboard tracks how much KPMG workers use AI. They say it's easy to game the system.
KPMG has introduced a dashboard for its US advisory division that allows employees to monitor their usage of artificial intelligence tools. The system is designed to track how often consultants engage with AI applications during their work.
Employees, however, have reported that the dashboard is easy to manipulate and may not provide an accurate picture of actual AI usage. Some have noted that the tracking can be gamed, potentially undermining the system's intended purpose of measuring genuine adoption. The specific methods for manipulation have not been detailed in the article.
The dashboard's introduction reflects broader industry efforts by consulting firms to quantify and encourage AI integration among staff. KPMG has not issued a public response to the employee concerns cited in the report. The effectiveness of such tracking tools in measuring true AI utilisation remains an open question.
