McKinsey Scales AI Agents to About 25,000 Across a 60,000-Strong Workforce

McKinsey & Company is rapidly embedding AI agents into its operations, aiming to have AI-enabled support across its 60,000-employee workforce (40,000 humans and roughly 20–25 thousand AI agents). CEO Bob Sternfels indicated the firm now has around 60,000 total staff, with AI agents numbering closer to 25,000, and he envisions every employee being “enabled by at least one” agent within 18 months. QuantumBlack leads the AI initiatives, and McKinsey’s business model is shifting toward AI-enabled, outcome-based client engagements as the industry broadly adopts generative AI to automate analysis, planning, and execution in consulting.

Sukharevsky believes that generative AI will eliminate routine tasks, allowing workers to focus on their real talents and creativity, ultimately augmenting the workforce rather than replacing it.
