AI could kill off most call centres, says Tata Consultancy Services head
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.

  • Reports suggest that overall IT services growth is affected by global uncertainties like inflation, war, and elections, leading to a decline in spending and slower revenue growth for companies like TCS and Infosys.

  • Infosys anticipates a modest 1-3% sales growth in the upcoming financial year due to customers delaying discretionary spending on new tech projects amidst the current economic climate.

The allegations of mass graves at two Gaza hospitals, explained
Quick Glance: UN Calls for Investigation into Mass Graves at Two Gaza Hospitals
  • The United Nations called for a thorough and transparent investigation into the mass graves at two major hospitals in Gaza that were searched by Israeli troops.

  • Some of the bodies belonged to individuals killed during the hospital siege, while others were victims when Israeli forces raided the hospital.

  • The discovery of the graves highlights the urgency of a ceasefire, the end of the conflict, improved access for humanitarian aid, the protection of hospitals, and the release of Israeli hostages.

Commentary: What next now that TikTok may be banned in the US?
Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim
  • ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

  • Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

  • ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

  • As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.
