WHEN Sam Altman, the man behind the generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) sensation and OpenAI (creator of ChatGPT) CEO, visited India last week, CEOs of start-ups and experts in AI took to social media and shared their opinions on the global AI revolution that is taking place at present and also the opportunities that are ahead of us.

Altman was quoted saying that generative AI is going to be the most transformative technology ever invented. AI is now put to use from small companies to top ones across different verticals. In the past few weeks alone, top and mid-tier IT companies have announced their partnerships or their own latest offering in AI and that indicates how these companies are tapping opportunities in AI as it will soon play a significant part across industries.

From TCS to Wipro, Infosys and Tech Mahindra, all IT companies are now focusing on AI. TCS’ Generative AI leverages Google Cloud’s generative AI services to design and deploy custom-tailored business solutions.

TCS has over 50,000 associates trained in AI, with plans to earn 40,000 skill badges on Google Cloud Generative AI within the year, to support anticipated demand for its new offering. Wipro has been working in the AI space for many years and for more than two years has an established Generative AI CoE, working alongside technology partners, academic institutions driving research in advanced areas of AI to help customers leverage these technology advances to gain a competitive market edge.
