Subramaniam said, “Artificial intelligence is not new. uses it, I use it, my children use it.”
The COO also explained that AI has now reached a stage where it exceeds the capabilities of IT workers.

He further said that IT majors are applying AI to their products as well. He added that 95% of his code for TCS BaNCS is generated by prompts.
