According to the report, TCS has made credible investments in building a comprehensive portfolio of Al services, underpinned by strategic investments in developing domain-specific platforms and solutions such as Optumera™ and OmniStore™. It went on to say that TCS has taken a proactive, ante-hoc approach to explainability, wherein it embeds explainability as a part of its engagements, as is evidenced in its case studies as well.
