Cognizant and Google Cloud announce an expansion of cooperation in escalating the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to assist clients in establishing, migrating, and upgrading their AI journeys.

To strengthen the partnership, Cognizant will invest in growing its product line, offering thorough training materials for Google Cloud tech talent development, and establishing innovation hubs in significant technology hubs worldwide to encourage cooperation and innovation regarding the responsible use of AI.

The Cognizant Google Cloud AI University, a new program that will teach 25,000 Cognizant experts about Google Cloud AI technologies and be made available to Cognizant clients, is one of the investments Cognizant has made in the development of generative AI capabilities. The university will provide a range of courses, such as beginner classes on the fundamentals of AI, advanced classes on Google Cloud’s products, and courses on particular applications of AI.

Additionally, Cognizant will establish several Google Cloud AI Innovation hubs in San Francisco, London, and Bengaluru. University students, Cognizant and Google Cloud specialists, and clients will all work together in these hubs to develop ethical AI projects and solutions.

“I’m extremely excited by the recent breakthroughs in generative AI that can help us move toward transforming our clients’ businesses while accelerating their productivity and thereby driving significant impact,” said Ravi Kumar S, CEO of Cognizant. “By expanding our long-standing alliance with Google Cloud to leverage our existing technology capabilities, upskill our talent, and deliver advanced technologies to our clients, Cognizant will play a critical role in supporting the global shift to responsible AI use.”
