Prowler.io CEO Vishal Chatrath and I are talking about artificial intelligence in a room called Maria. The meeting room, which forms part of Prowler's bright and buzzing Hills Road offices, doesn't have consciousness as far as I'm aware, but is named in honour of one of the main characters in Metropolis, a 1927 film which depicts an early vision of the rise of the machines. In it, Maria sees her likeness transferred to a robot, which leads an uprising to destroy the titular Metropolis. It's one of several nods to sci-fi at Prowler HQ – the firm's boardroom is called Skynet – but the company, which is being tipped by many as the Next Big Thing to emerge from the Cambridge cluster, has its sights set firmly on using AI to solve real-world problems. Vishal explains that these problems could be, well, just about anything.

Bengaluru: Infosys Ltd is looking to partner with companies that offer data analytics or artificial intelligence (AI) platforms, including International Business Machines Corp. (IBM), but has no plans to abandon its own Nia platform. Infosys, India's second largest software services firm, is seeking to use these platforms to help it win more business from its own customers. Infosys wants to scale up the business model that allows it to sell a cognitive platform that will help its Fortune 500 clients run their businesses more efficiently. For this reason, the Bengaluru-based firm wants to sell solutions like IBM Watson along with its service offering, according to an executive with direct knowledge of the development. Infosys, under chief executive officer Vishal Sikka, who stepped down in August, had earlier made its own proprietary AI platform, Nia (formerly called Mana), the cornerstone of its strategy of transforming itself into a new-age services company.

As we are stepping into 4th industrial age, we must prepare our HR4.0 workforce to use new age tools to fix employee engagement.
