Wipro Executive Chairman Rishad Premji on Wednesday said clients are moving beyond pilot projects to embed artificial intelligence (AI) into their core business processes, noting that this technological shift comes even as the broader IT sector remains cautious and heavily focused on cost optimisation.

Addressing shareholders at the company's 80th Annual General Meeting (AGM), Premji said that even as industry discussions turned toward AI and modernisation during the year, market players remained cautious and prioritised efficiency, consolidation, and cost optimisation.
