The demand for AI and machine learning expertise often outstrips the supply of qualified professionals . To overcome this , we implemented a comprehensive talent skilling strategy that includes providing training and certifications for our existing talent pool . This starts with a basic Gen AI 101 and moves onto advanced courses and accreditations through workshops and online courses .”
What does the next 12-18 months look like for Wipro when it comes to AI ? “ Gen AI and foundational AI in everything we do , is now our new mantra . Wipro is going through a mindset shift where we now ask – Does this piece of technology or data structures or functionality or product we are building have a placeholder for future embedment of AI into it .
“ Our view is that the people who embrace AI will be able to augment and enhance their output to unlock success . Our billion-dollar investment in AI is testament to that , which is robustly supported by a responsible AI framework underpinning everything we do . Wipro has now moved from ‘ Talk AI ’ to ‘ Executing At Scale ’.”
