The talent mix within global capability centres (GCCs) in India is evolving and entry-level roles have declined from 32 per cent to 22 per cent while mid-senior roles have surged to 77 per cent, a 14-point increase, a report showed on Thursday.

This shift points to an increased demand for professionals with "ready-now" capabilities to lead digital innovation in AI, ML, and cloud technologies, said the report by CIEL HR, an end-to-end HR solutions provider.

GCCs are offering significantly higher compensation, ranging from 12 per cent to 20 per cent above traditional IT services, especially in high-demand domains such as generative AI, data analytics, cybersecurity, and cloud. This reflects the premium placed on digital expertise and the sector’s race to attract top talent.

Australian scientists have made a breakthrough in combating Staphylococcus aureus, commonly known as golden staph -- a superbug that causes more than a million deaths worldwide each year.

The world-first initiative has demonstrated that real-time genome sequencing during severe infections allows doctors to quickly identify resistance mutations, and personalise treatment, news agency reported.

It will also help curb the spread of antibiotic resistance, said researchers from the Melbourne-based Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute).

Collaborating with seven local hospitals, scientists from the Doherty Institute said that traditionally, hospital laboratories identify bacteria using standard tests that reveal only the species type, offering limited insight into antibiotic resistance or genetic changes.

OpenAI now supports 3 million paying business users of ChatGPT, up from 2 million announced in February earlier this year, it announced on Thursday.

While workers can currently use ChatGPT for quick answers, connectors (beta) are a set of integrations that empower every worker with instant access to their company's collective insights, making them more productive, effective, and informed. Admins can also provision which connectors to enable at the workspace level.
