The growth of artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to reduce the hiring of entry-level graduates at firms like PwC, according to its global chairman Mohamed Kande. Despite this, PwC needs to hire hundreds of AI engineers but is struggling to find them.

• PwC had a long-term plan to hire 100,000 people over five years, which is no longer viable due to AI.
• Mohamed Kande, global chairman of PwC, stated AI will lead to a "different set of people" being hired.
• The firm cut over 5,600 roles worldwide last year and faced a six-month suspension in China over its work with Evergrande, but Kande assured that such "mistakes would not happen again."
