With an aim to create one of the worlds' largest AI ready workforce, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), with significant operations in Ireland, has strengthened its AI capabilities across its value chain. After training over 150,000 employees in the foundational skills of Generative AI, TCS has launched an AI Experience Zone, to foster hands-on proficiency in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI (GenAI) for its employees. Within this immersive environment, TCS employees can explore, engage, and experiment with cutting-edge GenAI-powered applications, creating innovative use cases, with all necessary guardrails and while upholding Responsible AI principles. The AI Experience Zone facilitates experimentation with open-source technologies and key large language models from industry giants like Amazon Web Services, Google, Microsoft, and others. Employees can gain experience in using these tools with use cases like content creation, information discovery, and task automation. They will also have access to a wealth of knowledge in the form of tutorials covering essential GenAI concepts. Siva Ganesan, Head of TCS AI.Cloud Unit, said "GenAI holds great potential as a co-worker, enabling automation and enhancing efficiency. Through the AI Experience Zone, we are empowering our associates with the ability to harness the transformative potential of GenAI through hands-on experience. A distinct feature of the AI Experience Zone is that it fosters collaboration. Associates from different parts of the world with shared interests can come together to build a solution for a specific problem. TCS' strides in AI have not gone unnoticed. Recently, global market researcher, Forrester named TCS in its report titled 'The AI Services Landscape Q1 2024', as a large provider of AI services (the highest-level rating), among 40 fortune 500 enterprises. Another leading global research firm, Everest, recognized TCS as a leader, in its report titled 'PEAK Matrix assessment 2023', that assessed 26 top global service providers. These recognitions underscore TCS' commitment to enhancing its capabilities in the AI domain. TCS is leveraging its existing ecosystem of innovation hubs via its 6 Pace Ports set up across the world to enhance its AI offerings. It has launched GenAI offerings around Industry Value Chains, SDLC reimagination, and Responsible AI. Apart from Hyper scalers, TCS has collaborated with players like Nvidia and Anthropic, to offer best-in-class services to customers. It will continue to expand its existing partnerships and build new AI focused partnerships. TCS has additionally invested in 24 Centers of Excellence (CoE) and 14 innovation labs around the world to develop accelerators, frameworks, and assets across the entire AI adoption lifecycle spanning Advisory, Implementation and Operations to create a cohesive ecosystem of AI capabilities. Dr Harrick Vin, Chief Technology Officer, TCS, commented: "As we navigate the digital landscape, TCS is steadfast in its commitment to becoming AI-first. Embracing Gen AI as a key component of our strategy, we are transforming not just how we operate but also how we lead and innovate in a rapidly evolving world. By harnessing the potential of GenAI across our operations, we aim to set new benchmarks in innovation, efficiency, and client success, propelling us into the future."

Hey Everyone, Today, we have another amazing guest. It's Esteban Moro (1)!Esteban is a researcher, data scientist and professor at Universidad Carlos III (UC3M) in Spain and Visiting Professor at MIT Media Lab and MIT Connection Science at IDSS. Previously, I was researcher at University of Oxford. He is a native of Salamanca (Spain) … we talk about that … and hold a PhD in Physics.Esteban's work lies in the intersection of big data and computational social science, with special attention to human dynamics, collective intelligence, social networks and urban mobility in problems like viral marketing, natural disaster management, or economical segregation in cities. Esteban is creative and exploring in his work, and has made important contributions in a number of topics, especially recently using massive datasets to understand problems like how humans communicate, how to political opinion spreads in social networks or building alternative wellbeing indexes. His work has appeared in major journals including PNAS or Science Advances and is regularly covered by media outlets The Atlantic, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, El País (Spain).In our conversation, we talk about his career, his science, and go deep with his 2011 paper “Dynamical strength of social ties in information spreading” (2), which is not only an interesting paper … but also comes with a very nice story of how we can build communities in science by collaborating even between competing groups.References(1) http://estebanmoro.org(2) https://journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevE.83.045102CreditsThe podcast has theme music by Waylon Thornton (and a little bit by me as well).

En el mundo hay 7.750 millones de personas… y subiendo. Muchos verdad. Con suerte, conoceremos a un total de 5.000 de ellas a lo largo de nuestra vida, pero importantes, no más de 150. No serán siempre las mismas, pero nunca más de esa cifra. El número de Dunbar. Este mes, en Deep Talks, uno de los podcast de BBVA, hablamos con Esteban Moro, investigador, científico de datos y profesor de la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Actualmente es Profesor Visitante en el MIT Media Lab y en el MIT Connection Science en el IDSS. “La gente con intereses específicos tienden a juntarse”. Esteban Moro estudia el comportamiento de las personas con sus iguales y la interrelación de los habitantes de una misma ciudad en un cruce interesantísimo entre el big data y las ciencias sociales. “Nos gusta segregarnos”. Parcelar la vida simplifica el día a día. “Siempre, desde que el hombre es hombre y vivimos en sociedad hemos tendido a estar segregados. Nos beneficia porque estamos con gente parecida y no hay que hacer esfuerzos cognitivos. Es evolutivo rodearse de gente con la misma visión”, explica Moro. Las dinámicas humanas son complejas y provocan una serie de impactos en las ciudades y en un tema tan importante como es la “segregación económica y social” que producen estos comportamientos. Conocer gente nueva “cada vez es más difícil”, pero “tampoco nos gusta” lo que provoca que “vivamos en mundos paralelos”.
