Accenture Reports AI Token Use to Rise 78% Despite Falling Prices
An Accenture Research report projects a 78% increase in AI token consumption over the next two years, despite an expected 19% decline in average token prices. This surge may offset cost savings for businesses, as only 35% of organizations can accurately calculate AI costs per business outcome. The report highlights that lower unit prices may lead to expanded AI use rather than reduced spending, with many companies planning to redirect AI-driven capacity toward higher-value activities like growth and innovation.
