Wipro’s Billion-Dollar Bet on AI
In the tech world, it’s all about staying ahead of the curve, and Wipro is doing just that. The Indian IT behemoth has just announced a whopping $1 billion investment in artificial intelligence over the next three years. But here’s the kicker: they’re not just buying fancy tech toys, they’re educating their entire workforce on AI. Yes, you read that right. All 250,000 employees across 66 countries are going to be AI-literate.
AI for All: Wipro’s Ambitious Plan
Wipro’s plan is as ambitious as it is necessary. They’re rolling out workshops on AI fundamentals and the responsible use of AI over the next year. And for those in AI-specialized roles, the training will be even more in-depth. It’s a clear signal that Wipro is serious about AI, and they’re not just paying lip service to the latest tech trend.
Generative AI: The Game Changer
Generative AI, the tech behind platforms like ChatGPT, is causing quite a stir. Wipro’s CEO, Thierry Delaporte, sees it as a game changer, predicting a “fundamental shift up ahead, for all industries.” And Wipro is not just talking the talk, they’re walking the walk. They’re launching a software system to weave AI into every platform and tool they use, both internally and for clients.
The AI Revolution in Business
AI is not just a buzzword anymore; it’s a business reality. Companies are increasingly using AI to boost or even replace human tasks. Just this week, an Indian startup CEO made waves by replacing 90% of his support staff with an AI chatbot. It’s a brave new world out there, and Wipro is clearly ready to ride the wave.
