Cognizant has just launched AI Training Data Services a powerful new offering that helps businesses quickly build, refine, and scale their AI models. With this launch, Cognizant is extending its long-standing expertise in AI and data training previously used by digital-native innovators to Global 2000 companies seeking to accelerate their AI initiatives.

As enterprises increasingly aim to integrate AI across their operations, the demand for high-quality, annotated training data has surged. Clean, multi-modal datasets ranging from text and images to audio and video are critical for building accurate machine learning and generative AI models. However, the scarcity of such well-annotated data often slows down progress. Cognizant’s new service addresses this gap directly.
