Quick Glance: AI Revolutionizing Call Centers: TCS Insights
- The head of Tata Consultancy Services predicts chatbots will reduce the need for human call center agents significantly, revolutionizing the industry.
- TCS's generative AI projects have doubled in value to $900 million by March, highlighting the increasing demand for tech talent and the need for workforce training.
