TCS on AI: ‘Not afraid this will take away livelihood,’ says CEO Krithivasan

Tech sector stocks are seeing some recovery after the recent bloodbath amid concerns about AI-led disruption. However, the Tata Consultancy Services Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, K Krithivasan, said that the company is not afraid of artificial intelligence taking away livelihoods.

“We encourage our associates to go out (to the customers and use AI), even if it means cannibalising our revenues,” Krithivasan told PTI. According to the TCS CEO, the company is insisting that each of its over 6 lakh staffers are AI fluent, insisting that the company is not “afraid this technology will take away our livelihood. We believe it is going to ⁠open up ⁠more, so you enjoy the benefits the more you do, and not by ⁠resisting ‌the change,” he said.
