Accenture reveals non-engineers are primary drivers of AI token consumption

Internal data from Accenture, disclosed by the company in presentations, shows that high token consumption in AI applications is not driven by engineers, but primarily by non-technical users. One of the biggest identified "token wasters" is converting PDFs to Markdown files, a common practice that consumes significant token volumes. This pattern reflects a broader challenge: many companies have yet to develop efficient strategies for AI model usage.
