Cognizant Launches AI Training Data Services

Cognizant, a leader in digital transformation, has officially launched its AI Training Data Services, designed to help enterprises quickly build, enhance, and implement AI models on a large scale. As businesses rush to deploy AI-driven applications, the demand for clean and relevant training data is more critical than ever. With the recent surge in generative AI and agentic AI applications, the shortage of large, accurately annotated datasets poses a significant bottleneck for effective training of machine learning models, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) and computer vision systems. Multimodal data, including text, images, and audio, are particularly valuable as these models can address complex scenarios requiring context from multiple forms of data.

Cognizant's AI Training Data Services provide a strategic solution for enterprises to build, refine, validate, and deploy AI models in alignment with internal governance and oversight. This offering combines deep expertise in data engineering and AI training with a thorough understanding of industry-specific operations, transforming multimodal data into high-quality input for machine learning and generative AI models. Services include data annotation, model customization and enhancement, and data governance, all aimed at enabling organizations to accelerate their market readiness, improve model accuracy and performance, and reduce costs.

For years, Cognizant has been a trusted partner to digital-native leaders, helping them train some of the world’s most advanced AI models. The company has collaborated with pioneers across technology, healthcare, automotive, media, and retail sectors. With over 10,000 specialists, Cognizant has delivered large-scale data annotation and quality control for billions of data points and millions of labels across all major modalities, including speech, 2D/3D images, video, and LiDAR (light detection and ranging), often enriched with geospatial metadata for enhanced precision.

"Cognizant is committed to empowering our clients to accelerate their AI innovation at scale. With the launch of AI Training Data Services, we are furthering this commitment by providing businesses with the quality multimodal data necessary to create advanced AI solutions," says Ravi Kumar S., CEO of Cognizant. "By leveraging these specialized capabilities, developed alongside digital innovators, we take a crucial step forward in supporting AI transformation for our G2000 clients across various industries."

Cognizant’s AI Training Data Services encompass several core capabilities, such as:

• - Extensive Data Annotation and Curation: Expert-level multimodal data labeling is enabled, ensuring high accuracy in AI training, from content understanding to conversational AI.
• - Data for Model Customization and Enhancement: Supervised refinement data, carefully curated datasets for fine-tuning LLMs and base models, and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) data to align model behavior with user preferences and values.
• - AI Governance and Evaluation: Implementation of agentic solutions and context engineering data that provide specialized services for constructing, refining, and evaluating AI agentic solutions within client-defined parameters, alongside robust data for evaluating LLM performances across various metrics and the implementation of AI solutions in a customer's Virtual Private Cloud environment.

As organizations aspire to operationalize AI, many face challenges stemming from data debt — a persistent hurdle caused by fragmented, poor-quality, or inaccessible data that hinders the development of effective AI models. Cognizant addresses this challenge by bringing together a comprehensive range of capabilities—business services, IT expertise, technical excellence, and ecosystem partnerships—into a streamlined solution with industrial context.

"Companies are eager to operationalize generative and agentic AI, technologies that promise to transform business models through significantly higher levels of end-to-end automation, leading to more efficient and effective operations," remarks Anil Vijayan, Partner at Everest Group. "As these technologies scale, the need for comprehensive and diverse data to accelerate AI model creation, improve accuracy, and support regulatory compliance intensifies. Cognizant’s AI Training Data Services, with their proven track record, deliver significant value in this space."
