BENGALURU - Tata Consultancy Services chairman N Chandrasekaran told shareholders Tuesday that IT companies will soon employ as many AI agents as human workers.

"If the company has half a million employees, the day is not far when the company will have half a million AI agents," Chandrasekaran said at TCS's annual general meeting.

He described a future where employees and AI agents collaborate side by side, signaling a major shift in the global IT workforce.
