SP shared Tata Elxsi’s innovations in AI through platforms like IRIS (video analytics), TEDx (big data analytics), and Lexi (digital twin), which are being adopted across industries such as electronics, automotive, and pharmaceuticals. He also emphasized how generative AI is improving man-machine interaction and enhancing workforce productivity. While AI adoption brings clear benefits like predictive maintenance and cost savings, it also requires digital maturity, quality data, and skilled teams to overcome challenges.
