Artificial Intelligence Is Next Frontier for Infosys

Infosys Ltd.’s new chief executive officer is looking to acquire talent and technology as he tries to push India’s second-largest software services company into artificial intelligence -- helping customers automate jobs currently done by people.

Vishal Sikka, who took over on Aug. 1, said he wants Infosys to focus on design and automation to help bolster sales growth. That push may require some deals to add people and technology related to artificial intelligence and collaborative software companies, he said. Still, the majority of the transformation will be driven by retraining the company’s more than 160,000 employees over the next two years, he said.
