After IT giants such as?TCS, Accenture, and IBM have already begun taking steps towards inculcating artificial intelligence?into their businesses,?Wipro?too has joined the bandwagon.
Indian IT giant?Wipro today announced?that it has committed to making a $1 billion investment in advancing AI capabilities over the next three years.
Wipro also launched Wipro ai360, a comprehensive, AI-first innovation ecosystem that builds on Wipro¡¯s decade-long investments in artificial intelligence (AI) with the goal of integrating AI into every platform, every tool, and every solution used internally and offered to clients.?
The $1 billion investment will help further advance Wipro¡¯s AI, data, and analytics capabilities and foundation, R&D, and platforms; enhance FullStride Cloud; and build new consulting capabilities to help clients adapt to change and unlock new value through AI.??
To achieve these goals, the?company will train all 250,000 employees?on AI fundamentals and responsible use of AI over the course of the next 12 months and will continue to provide more customised, ongoing training for employees in AI-specialised roles.
¡°Artificial Intelligence is a fast-moving field,¡± said?Thierry Delaporte, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director, Wipro. ¡°Especially with the emergence of generative AI, we expect a fundamental shift up ahead, for all industries.

Earlier in June, Accenture said that it would?invest $3 billion in its data and artificial intelligence practise over the next three years.?Moreover, it will also?double the AI headcount to 80,000?through hiring, acquisitions, and training.??
A month before Accenture, India's largest IT firm, TCS, confirmed that it was building its own ChatGPT equivalent (tool)?to be used for enterprise code generation, its Chief Operating Officer, N Ganapathy Subramaniam, said.
Though the project is at a very early stage right now, TCS is looking to harness the vast internal code, data, and resources that the country¡¯s largest software services firm has. The solution will be built through in-house algorithms that use large language modelling functions similar to generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots such as ChatGPT but for enterprise code generation.
