The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming enterprise operations globally, with significant implications for industries such as energy and chemicals (E&C). According to Deloitte's report, the E&C sector will require over 1.2 million workers to upskill in new technologies by 2033, while another 534,000 workers need reskilling on emerging technologies.
Nvidia Corp.'s CEO Jensen Huang described AI agents as future 'digital employees,' and Nasscom predicts that enterprises will spend 3-4 times more funds on AI agents in 2025. Currently, 27% of enterprises have AI agents in production or at scale, with 31% at the proof-of-concept stage and 30% planning to initiate deployments.
Infosys BPM has launched Microsoft AI agents within its Accounts Payable on Cloud solution, leveraging Agentic AI to streamline complex workflows and enhance critical business operations. Business Insider is also embracing AI, aiming for a 100% adoption rate of Enterprise ChatGPT.
As Sangeeta Gupta, Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at Nasscom, notes, 2025 will be a turning point for enterprise transformation, marking a shift from digital-first to AI-first operations. Companies like Nvidia and Infosys BPM are leading the way in integrating AI into their operations, driving productivity gains, process innovation, and selective outsourcing.
