Indian IT firm Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has entered into a collaboration with US-based semiconductor company AMD to enhance AI adoption across industries.
This partnership will leverage TCS’ domain expertise and AMD’s advanced computing products to facilitate the transition of AI projects from pilot stages to full-scale production.
It focuses on developing industry-specific AI and generative AI solutions.
TCS and AMD will co-develop solutions by integrating the Indian firm’s systems integration capabilities and global innovation ecosystem with the latter’s high-performance computing and AI offerings. These efforts are aimed at modernising hybrid cloud environments, deploying AI-powered solutions in workplaces, and advancing innovation in cloud-to-edge workloads.
Both companies have committed to investing in talent development, aiming to rapidly upskill TCS associates in AMD’s cutting-edge technologies. The partners plan to create a pool of experts capable of delivering next-generation AI solutions.
TCS CEO and managing director K. Krithivasan said: “Our collaboration with AMD is a significant step in scaling AI for the enterprise. By combining TCS’s deep industry expertise with AMD’s high performance computing capabilities, we are enabling organisations to move from AI experimentation to AI at scale and deployment.
“Together, we plan to co-create industry specific Gen AI solutions, modernise hybrid cloud and edge environments, and shape the next generation of intelligent workplace. The collaboration underscores our commitment to building future ready enterprises and advances our ambition to become the world’s largest AI-led technology services company.”
The partners are designing specific frameworks for sectors such as life sciences, manufacturing, and banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI). These frameworks aim to enhance areas like drug discovery, cognitive quality engineering, smart manufacturing, and intelligent risk management.
The collaboration will also focus on integrating AMD’s Ryzen CPU-powered client solutions for workplace transformation while modernising hybrid cloud infrastructures using AMD EPYC CPUs, Instinct GPUs, and AI accelerators.
