Cognizant platform guides companies into age of AI

Artificial intelligence tools are rapidly working their way into countless industries. So how can companies stay ahead of the curve and learn how to responsibly use this technology to their advantage? 

Cognizant announced a new platform May 15, Cognizant Neuro AI, that is designed to help its clients “accelerate the adoption of generative AI technology and harness its business value in a flexible, secure, scalable and responsible way.” 

The  Teaneck-based technology company said it is one of the first to unveil an enterprise-wide platform for its clients. 

“It is fast becoming clear that businesses must embrace AI without delay to remain competitive,” Prasad Sankaran, executive vice president of Cognizant’s Software and Platform Engineering, said in a statement. “This is an exciting moment, as Cognizant’s Neuro AI platform goes beyond proof of concept, aiming to accelerate the adoption of enterprise scale AI applications, increase ROI potential, minimize risks and get to better business solutions, faster.” 

Built on years of AI research, development and client-facing commercial AI applications, the new platform – which includes a library of reusable generative AI models and agents – will help clients identify when and how to use AI in ways that are specific to their company.

Cognizant said it has deployed generative AI techniques in industries such as life sciences, retail and health care, covering areas such as price optimization, predictive health care analytics and crop science optimization. 

“We believe enterprises need scalable, flexible, end-to-end tools to accelerate responsible AI adoption,” said Anna Elango, executive vice president of Cognizant’s Core Technologies and Insights. “By partnering human expertise, including Cognizant’s deep industry insights, with the power of generative AI, we aim to help our clients catalyze informed decisions and tackle complex business challenges to drive cost efficiencies, resilience and business revenue.” 

The company also noted that Cognizant Neuro AI is built on the company’s responsible AI principles, which promote inclusivity, accountability, reliability and community benefit. 

The company told NJBIZ it does not have pricing tiers available to share at this time.
