Infosys unveils comprehensive AI scaling framework with focus on responsible deployment

Infosys launches a structured, multi-domain AI platform aimed at advancing large-scale AI adoption across industries, emphasizing governance, trust, and open standards to foster responsible innovation.

Infosys is rolling out a structured approach to help organisations take AI from pilot phase to enterprise scale, positioning the initiative as part of a broader push to translate emerging models into measurable business outcomes. The firm says its Topaz platform underpins...

the effort and reports it is engaged on AI work with 90% of its top 200 clients and managing more than 4,600 AI projects.

According to the company, the new AI-first value framework is organised around six domains designed to address the technical, operational and governance challenges that accompany large-scale adoption. AI strategy and engineering concentrates on creating architectures and operating models tailored to corporate objectives, including the orchestration of agentic systems, proprietary stacks and third-party tooling on infrastructure tuned for AI workloads. Data for AI emphasises preparing both structured and unstructured data, promoting what Infosys describes as “AI-grade” engineering practices such as data fingerprinting and the use of synthetic training data to turn siloed repositories into reliable inputs for analytics and prediction.

Process AI is aimed at embedding intelligent agents into business workflows and redesigning tasks so humans and AI collaborate more effectively, with an eye to lifting operational productivity across functions. Agentic legacy modernisation looks to apply AI to analyse and interpret ageing technology estates, supporting re‑engineering and lowering technical debt to improve responsiveness when new AI capabilities are deployed. The physical AI strand extends digital intelligence into hardware and operational systems, covering digital twins, robotics, autonomous systems and edge deployments that ingest sensor data and act in the physical world. Finally, AI trust covers governance, security and ethics, including risk assessment, policy development, testing and lifecycle oversight.

Infosys frames the rollout as both commercial and civic. The company projects the opportunity for AI-first services at scale is substantial, citing a Nasscom-McKinsey estimate that places incremental market potential in the hundreds of billions of dollars by 2030. The announcement reflects a steady expansion of the firm’s responsible-AI tooling and partnerships: last year Infosys published an open-source Responsible AI Toolkit as part of its Topaz Responsible AI Suite, designed to provide technical guardrails such as specialised models and shielding algorithms to detect privacy issues, security attacks and biased outputs.

That toolkit has been contributed to wider industry projects. According to Infosys, it has shared components with Linux Foundation Networking initiatives to accelerate domain-specific AI across networks, and the company says it is one of the first systems integrators to join the AI Alliance, a multi‑stakeholder community focused on open, safe and accountable AI development. On governance, Infosys states it is the first Indian organisation to participate in the Hiroshima AI Process Reporting Framework, aligning its reporting practices with the HAIP International Code of Conduct and the OECD-backed initiative to promote trustworthy deployment of AI in government and enterprise settings.

Infosys also highlights its role in U.S.-led standardisation efforts, noting its selection as an inaugural member of the AI Safety Institute Consortium convened by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a group formed to develop empirically grounded guidelines for AI safety and measurement.

Industry observers say such ecosystem activity strengthens enterprise confidence when choosing large vendors to implement AI at scale because third-party standards and open tools can reduce vendor lock-in and surface shared controls. However, critics warn that broad claims about client penetration and project volumes require scrutiny: enterprise transformation at scale entails long timelines, measurable governance outcomes and transparent evidence that models and agents behave safely in production. The company’s public materials frame many of these capabilities as parts of its Topaz suite and allied collaborations rather than independently verifiable metrics.

For organisations weighing suppliers, the Infosys approach bundles strategy, data engineering, workflow redesign, legacy rework, hardware integration and governance into a single methodology while asserting a responsible-AI posture through open tooling and standard-setting participation. Whether that combination delivers consistent, sector‑wide results will depend on how these frameworks are implemented in practice, the rigour of testing and monitoring, and the degree to which enterprises demand demonstrable evidence of safety, fairness and operational resilience.
