TEANECK (dpa-AFX) - Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. (CTSH) announced an
expansion of its artificial intelligence or AI partnership with Google Cloud
Platform, offered by Google LLC of Alphabet Inc., with a view to drive software
development productivity.

Cognizant plans to adopt Google's AI-powered chatbot Gemini for Google Cloud to
accelerate velocity for its software developers. The partnership will enable
Cognizant's more than 70,000 associates on Google Cloud's latest AI
technologies.

Thomas Kurian, CEO, Google Cloud, said, 'Generative AI has the potential to
significantly improve every stage of the software delivery lifecycle, helping
developers quickly generate code, troubleshoot issues, and automate processes.
By training and enabling its workforce on Gemini for Google Cloud, Cognizant can
expedite the speed and quality of software development projects for joint
customers.'

Cognizant will adopt Gemini for Google Cloud in two ways. Cognizant associates
will be trained to use Gemini for software development assistance, and the
company is integrating Gemini's advanced capabilities within its internal
operations and platforms.

Using Gemini for Google Cloud, Cognizant's developers will be equipped to write,
test, and deploy code faster and more effectively with the help of AI-powered
tools. It will improve the reliability and cost efficiency of building and
managing client applications.

Over the next 12 months, Cognizant will invest in enabling its associates across
multiple Cognizant functions on Google Cloud's AI offerings, in line with its
Synapse initiative to upskill one million individuals globally by 2026.

Cognizant will also work to integrate Gemini into its suite of automated
platforms and accelerators, beginning with the recently announced Cognizant
Flowsource platform for developers.

As per the findings from a recent Cognizant and Oxford Economics study, New
Work, New World, generative AI could inject up to $1 trillion into the U.S.
economy by 2032.

Through the latest deal, Cognizant and Google Cloud expect to utilize Gemini to
deliver a broad range of benefits to enterprise clients across industries.
Gemini could help them build applications quickly, rigorously test code, and
swiftly remediate issues to optimize performance throughout the software
delivery lifecycle.

Cognizant said it has committed to invest $1 billion in generative AI over three
years as its a powerful tool to amplify human potential.

Cognizant announced its major gen AI partnership with Google Cloud in May 2023,
which was further expanded in August 2023 to create healthcare large language
model solutions.
