Cognizant Adopts Gemini for Google Cloud, To Train Its 70,000 Associates

Cognizant and Google Cloud have expanded their AI partnership. On March 21, 2024, the companies announced an enhancement of their collaboration to boost software development productivity. Cognizant will adopt "Gemini for Google Cloud" to accelerate the velocity for its software developers and enable over 70,000 associates on Google Cloud's latest AI technologies.

This expansion is part of Cognizant's commitment to invest $1 billion in generative AI over three years, aiming to amplify human potential and drive significant economic impact.

Cognizant will adopt Gemini for Google Cloud in two ways: first, by training Cognizant associates to use Gemini for software development assistance; and second, Cognizant 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, improving the reliability and cost efficiency of building and managing client applications.

Last year in May, Cognizant announced establishment of Google Cloud AI Innovation Centers and the Cognizant Google Cloud AI University, which will train 25,000 Cognizant professionals plus clients. With the latest partnership expansion, Google Cloud will support Cognizant in the continued development of AI-led software engineering best practices, and by helping the Cognizant Google Cloud AI University launch advanced courses on AI use cases.

Cognizant's adoption of "Gemini for Google Cloud" is a strategic move to enhance software development productivity. This tool is expected to help Cognizant's software developers accelerate the development process by enabling faster coding, rigorous testing, and swift issue remediation. It's part of a broader initiative to integrate Google Cloud's advanced AI technologies and drive innovation across various industries. The partnership underscores a significant investment in AI and a commitment to leveraging these technologies to amplify human potential and create economic value.

Gemini for Google Cloud is a generative AI-powered collaboration product designed to enhance productivity and creativity for its users. It's part of Google's suite of AI tools and is embedded in many Google Cloud products, including the Google Cloud Console and Cloud Code extensions.

Gemini excels at tasks such as — 1) Conversational AI: Engaging in natural, open-ended conversations, and 2) Text Summarization: Distilling key points from large bodies of text.

Gemini is available in different optimized sizes, such as Ultra, Pro, and Nano, catering to various needs and scales of operation. Developers and enterprise customers can access Gemini Pro via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio or Google Cloud Vertex AI, which allows them to prototype and launch apps quickly.
