– Cognizant inaugurates an advanced artificial intelligence laboratory to accelerate research and innovation in this field
The laboratory, which has 75 granted and pending patents, will be launched with a team of researchers and developers dedicated to artificial intelligence; will focus on research, innovation and production of cutting-edge artificial intelligence systems
TEANECK, N.J., March 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Cognizant (Nasdaq: CTSH), a leading global technology company, today announced the launch of an Advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) Laboratory. The lab, based in San Francisco, will focus on advancing the science and practice of AI through innovation and development of intellectual property and AI-enabling technologies. Formed by a team of researchers and developers, including pioneers and PhDs in AI, the laboratory will collaborate with research institutions, clients and startups, and already has 75 issued and pending patents that provide a differentiated foundation on which build cutting-edge AI solutions. The lab is part of the commitment Cognizant announced last year to invest $1 billion in generative AI (gen AI) over the next three years.
The launch of Cognizant’s Advanced AI Lab comes at a time when companies are working quickly to understand the impact of AI and meet the growing expectations around its promise.

We focus on AI research and development to lay the foundation for better business outcomes and a future better”.
Leveraging the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) as capable knowledge workers, the lab’s researchers and developers will use the Cognizant Neuro™ AI platform to orchestrate LLMs into decision-making AI systems that can positively impact and optimize processes. business results. Beyond simple engineering and tuning, these custom AI applications will be designed to support higher-value outcomes, from C-level strategic business decisions to business operations including financial, sales, product, IT support, and more. the daily productivity of employees.
“Cognizant’s Advanced Artificial Intelligence Laboratory is an important partner for us in the research community, and we have already worked quickly with them on simulating brain dynamics in healthy and patient populations,” said Dr. Manish Saggar, Associate Professor. and director of the Brain Dynamics Laboratory at Stanford University School of Medicine. “I am excited about the progress we are making together, as well as its potential impact not only on the advancement of science, but also on the development of new interventions for mental disorders.”
Specifically, Cognizant’s Advanced AI Lab will focus on the following areas:
The lab will be led by Babak Hodjat, an AI entrepreneur and inventor, and AI research activities will be under the supervision of Risto Miikkulainen, an AI professor at the University of Texas at Austin and a pioneer of neuroevolution. In the last year alone, its team of researchers and developers has already published 14 articles in academic journals and received the award for best impact pathway at the NeurIPS 2023 climate change workshop for its article Discovering Effective Policies for Land-Use Planning .
In addition to the launch of Cognizant’s Advanced AI Lab, Cognizant is supporting enterprise adoption of AI through its AI Innovation Studios in London, New York, San Francisco, Dallas and Bengaluru.
