Led by Babak Hodjat, Cognizant’s AI lab houses a distinguished team of researchers and developers, striving to lead through innovation in AI systems and technologies. With a robust portfolio of patents and a focus on modernization and innovation, the lab aims to steer AI’s application in business while fostering collaborative ties with academic institutions like Stanford University and the University of Texas.

Projects emphasize AI’s role in decision-making and productivity, tackling uncertainties and complex decision processes. Cognizant’s strategic collaboration with academia and its broader $1 billion investment in generative AI underscore its commitment to spearheading responsible AI development.
