Enhanced platform integrates powerful multi-agent AI orchestration that can accelerate the enterprise AI productivity-to-growth journey
Dozens of businesses have already leveraged the platform to rapidly identify, build and pilot AI decisioning use cases that can deliver business value at scale
TEANECK, N.J., Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Cognizant (NASDAQ:CTSH) today announced significant enhancements to its Cognizant Neuro® AI platform, aimed at enabling enterprises to rapidly discover, prototype, and develop AI use cases that can improve decision-making, leading to better company performance and new revenue opportunities.

According to data from a Cognizant and Oxford Economics study, most enterprises (76%) are looking to leverage AI to create new revenue streams but struggle with implementing and scaling cross-enterprise use cases. Many (70%) also don’t think they’re moving fast enough. The enhancements to Cognizant Neuro® AI address these problems — in just minutes, business leaders can identify what business problems to tackle, scope them, and generate synthetic data or import their own anonymized data to start creating AI models. The platform can then predict and provide guidance on meeting business outcomes while justifying those decisions, thereby enabling businesses to quickly assess the impact of a variety of use cases. 
Now available to Cognizant clients, the enhanced Cognizant Neuro® AI platform has been tested, piloted and used by dozens of clients already and is backed by multiple patents. It can be leveraged for almost any industry or business challenge involving data analysis, from inventory management and dynamic pricing to fraud reduction and efficient staff allocation. The enhancements to the Neuro® AI platform began as research projects at the Cognizant AI Research Lab, which launched earlier this year. The lab focuses on researching and developing decision-based AI systems, and these enhancements are the first developments from the lab that have been integrated into a commercial offering. 
Gilead Sciences, a leading biopharmaceutical company and Cognizant client, commented on the enhanced Neuro® AI platform: 
“Many enterprises struggle to apply AI beyond predicting outcomes, and that’s because solving real business problems usually involves thousands of different scenarios often with conflicting priorities,” said Murali Vridhachalam, Head of Cloud, Data, and Analytics at Gilead Sciences. “With these latest updates, Cognizant Neuro® AI is the only platform I’ve seen that empowers businesses to quickly deploy end-to-end Gen AI use cases across various applications, and to uncover tangible, revenue-generating opportunities. Its innovative, multi-agent approach to managing decision workflows sets it apart in the industry.”  
Another Cognizant client, Bayer Crop Science, also commented on their experience using the enhanced platform:
 “Agriculture is one of the most challenging professions, requiring intricate decision-making amid environmental uncertainties and the need to balance social, economic, and environmental objectives,” said Patricio Salvatore La Rosa, Head of Decision Science at Bayer Crop Science. “We have directly tested several foundational components of Cognizant Neuro® AI, especially LEAF, which has empowered us to navigate complex scenarios effectively. By harnessing the collaborative capabilities of specialized Gen AI agents, we look forward to addressing intricate decision-making challenges in a reliable, transparent, and trustworthy manner.”
Cognizant has integrated powerful new features as part of the enhancements to Cognizant Neuro® AI, including a multi-agent powered discovery tool to identify use cases, called Opportunity Finder, as well as a suite of large language model (LLM) assistants that form a powerful AI decisioning engine. Clients first interact with the platform through Opportunity Finder, an LLM-assistant that helps identify potential AI decisioning use cases for their businesses. The Model Orchestrator, featuring a drag-and-drop interface, then enables users to clean up the data and apply a variety of machine learning models to it. Data preparation is streamlined through LLMs and then machine learning models are applied to predict outcomes while evolutionary AI models prescribe decisions. Once trained, the best models can be further interrogated through a web interface or queried via an LLM assistant. 
The enhanced Cognizant Neuro® AI platform is available with pre-built configurations that provide easy starting points for various use cases. These include healthcare (like drug discovery and treatment plans), finance (such as cybersecurity and fraud prevention), agriculture (like crop yield optimization and pesticide development), and general templates for supply chain, call centers, customer retention, and price optimization. 
“Businesses are struggling with how and where to apply AI to solve business problems, and that’s why we’ve seen most AI use cases limited to prediction-based outcomes or single LLM chat-based solutions,” said Babak Hodjat, Chief Technology Officer of AI at Cognizant. “Multi-agent AI systems hold the key to solving these problems, which is why Cognizant Neuro® AI is now built with one at its core. This platform puts business leaders – not just data scientists — in the driver’s seat, so they can tap into their own domain knowledge to quickly test and establish decision-making use cases for AI in minutes and then provide the resulting model code to iterate at scale.” 
According to Gartner®, “Multiple agents can work toward a common goal that goes beyond the ability of individual agents. The combined application of multiple agents can tackle complex tasks that individual agents cannot, while creating more adaptable, scalable and robust solutions.”1
Neil Ward-Dutton, VP Automation, AI and Analytics at IDC also commented: “As enterprises start to try to approach AI strategically, and move beyond experimentation, they are crying out to understand how to identify and prioritize use cases. Providers that can use technology to help accelerate the identification of use cases, and then use that technology to test and scale implementations, will be in a strong position.”

A glimpse into a 5G-advanced powered AI future
With 5G and AI on a verge to catalyse a paradigm shift in the telecommunications landscape, Khalid Murshed, Chief Technology & Information Officer of e&, one of the largest telecommunications operators in the Middle East and North Africa region, explained the transformative impact of network capabilities.
He said: “5G and 5G advanced serve as a platform for everyone to come in to innovate with applications that can drive demand for the network to be enhanced further and further.
We have to build a network with the capabilities and then fit in the AI applications and this is what we’re doing hand-in-hand. We’re not just building a network for the sake of technology leadership. It’s a bilateral game by all means and we are building them to enable new cases while today we have live networks and private 5G.”
Another leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices, Huawei, identifies several key technologies as the backbone of its solutions towards facilitating an intelligent future. 5G-Advanced (5G-A) remains vital to supporting rapid and low-latency communication – critical for building advanced applications, in addition to big, unified data, AI, and cloud computing.
AI and 5G fuelling the future of autonomous vehicles
The future of mobility and how autonomous vehicles can benefit from 5G was another highlight. Speaking in a panel, Siyuan Liu, Head of IoT Partnership & Strategy, Greater China, at China Unicom Global, said that the company is accelerating its efforts into the AI and vehicle connectivity industries with 5G playing a central role.
She highlighted that 5G is vital for the growth of autonomous vehicles, reshaping society and helping make accurate decisions – all of which can enhance the efficiency of transportation and safety.
