Vishal Sikka: Infosys could have led AI race, invested in OpenAI under my tenure

• Former Infosys CEO Vishal Sikka claims Infosys could have been an AI frontrunner if his vision was continued.
• Sikka, now CEO of Vianai, stated he saw AI's potential 11 years ago, noting AlexNet's human-surpassing performance.
• Under his leadership, Infosys reportedly invested around $3 million in OpenAI when it was a non-profit.
• Sikka joined Infosys in 2014 but faced cultural issues, resigning in 2017 due to "baseless, malicious, and increasingly personal attacks."
• He believes Infosys undertook significant AI efforts during his time, building its own platform.
