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.

Quick Glance: Google Fires More Employees Following Israel Deal Protests

An activist group has reported that Google has terminated at least 20 more employees in response to protests over the technology supplied to the Israeli government amid the Gaza conflict, bringing the total number of dismissed employees to over 50.

This serves as another indication of internal unrest at the tech giant, revolving around 'Project Nimbus,' a $1.2 billion contract signed in 2021 for Google and Amazon to provide cloud computing and AI services to the Israeli government.

Last week, demonstrations were held by employees at Google offices in New York and Sunnyvale, California, resulting in the company contacting law enforcement, leading to subsequent arrests.

According to Google, the additional terminations were carried out after an investigation gathered information from colleagues who were 'physically disrupted,' and employees were identified who wore masks and did not carry their ID badges to conceal their identities. The company refuted the group's allegations, asserting that it meticulously verified that 'each individual whose employment was terminated was personally and conclusively involved in disruptive activities within our premises.'

Quick Glance: Google dismisses workers following protests on technology deal with Israeli government

Following protests regarding the technology supplied to the Israeli government, Google has terminated employees, heightening tensions around a sensitive contract.

The confirmed dismissals by Google on Wednesday occurred after nine individuals were detained during sit-in demonstrations in New York and Sunnyvale, California, a day subsequent to police intervention.

Demonstrations are predominantly coordinated by a faction known as No Tech For Apartheid. Google states that Nimbus is not utilized for weaponry or intelligence purposes.

Stated in a blog post, Google's CEO Sundar Pichai implied a close supervision of employees as the company enhances efforts in advancing its AI technology, marking a crucial phase in the industry and potentially humanity.

Congress’ first tech crackdown in years is a gift to Big Tech: Meta and Google stand ready to reap a TikTok ban’s rewards.

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.

Quick Glance: San Francisco's Real Estate Market in Turmoil

The city of San Francisco, once seen as the shining star of the West Coast, is now on the verge of collapse, with seemingly no one raising the alarm.

In particular, the city's housing market has been severely impacted over the past year, with prices plummeting and homeowners fleeing en masse.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'

San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.
