exchange filing.
The company did not disclose the client's name.
As Microsoft-backed OpenAI's generative chatbot, ChatGPT
took the world by storm in late 2022, companies around the world have doubled
down on investing in AI.
Infosys' move comes after rival Tata Consultancy Services
said it planned to train 25,000 engineers to get them certified on Microsoft's
Azure Open AI. Another rival Wipro has plans to invest $1 billion into artificial intelligence (AI) over the
next three years.
Bengaluru-based Infosys launched a platform called Infosys
Topaz for generative artificial intelligence (AI) in late May.
The company is expected to report its first-quarter results
on July 20.
Last week, Wipro announced a plan to spend $1 billion as
part of the company's goal to upskill its workforce to utilise AI and infuse
the firm's product offerings with the technology.
As part of the firm's plans, 2.5 lakh employees will be
trained in to use AI, and the country's third-largest software services company
plans to bring 30,000 employees from its cloud, data analytics, consulting, and
engineering teams to integrate AI with its products and services.
