TCS and Infosys think they can profit from AI paranoia

The post TCS and Infosys think they can profit from AI paranoia appeared first on The Ken .

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) engineer reveals that many clients refuse to adopt AI platform Ignio due to data security concerns. Ignio, developed by TCS's venture Digitate, is being used by the Tata Group to automate IT and business processes for clients. However, 60% of Digitate's clients opt for locally hosted AI tools instead of Ignio, citing worries about data security.

The engineer's comments come amid heightened scrutiny over AI safety, with recent security breaches involving Anthropic and OpenAI making headlines. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has cautioned that relying heavily on AI without intermediaries could lead to a loss of control, prompting IT-services companies to capitalize on the "trust" gap by offering to bridge it.
