Tata Consultancy Services will retrain about 100,000 employees each year – around one-sixth of its global workforce – to adapt to the sweeping changes brought by artificial intelligence, Nikkei Asia reported. Chief Technology Officer Harrick Vin told Nikkei that the rise of generative AI marks a shift unlike any previous technological wave, requiring new approaches to testing and quality assurance.
To stay ahead, TCS is expanding its in-house learning programmes and encouraging staff to explore AI tools through hands-on projects and hackathons.
Vin said the goal is to equip employees to work alongside evolving AI systems rather than be displaced by them. The scale of the transition, he added, underscores that “every organisation will have to do this”.
