Sivakumar Palaghat Anantharaman shared thisThis is fantastic and great way to go #CognizantSivakumar Palaghat Anantharaman shared thisYou can't truly harness the power of #AI unless you're willing to build with it - Not just talk about it. That's the spirit our Cognizant teams brought to the inaugural OpenAI #Codex #Hackathons in #London and #SanFrancisco. 150+ participants. Two cities. Real problems. Real code. Real outcomes. One standout from our Code Champions in London: the Touchless Control Assistant—a hands-free way to run presentations and meetings using gestures, voice, and presence awareness. Move slides, mute audio, track actions—all without touching a keyboard or mouse. This wasn’t just a prototype; it was a statement of intent. Another powerful idea from our Code Champions in San Francisco hackathon: KYC Fabric – Client Onboarding Intelligence Platform. An AI-native approach to transforming commercial onboarding and compliance—bringing together AI-assisted document review, case management, continuous monitoring, and explainable decision-making into a single workflow. The result: faster onboarding, stronger auditability, and human-in-the-loop governance. Different problems. Same mindset—simplifying complexity through #AI, whether in how we interact with technology or how enterprises operate at scale. This is what our #AIBuilder narrative is all about. Before we build for clients, we build for ourselves. We test, we break, we refine. Our deep collaboration with #OpenAI shows up not just in conversations, but in the solutions our teams bring to life. We are not an AI-curious company. We are an AI-building company. . APAC (Virtual) is next. To every Code Champion—Meena | Aditi | Fujale | Gaurav | Gagan | Harsha | Vinoth | Manasi —who showed up and built across London and San Francisco, this momentum is just getting started. #SDLC to #ADLC Thanks to the tireless efforts of our IT and Security teams under Neal and John, this wouldn’t have been possible in such a short time. I would also like to sincerely thank our CEO, Ravi Kumar S for his vision and strategic direction, and Rajesh V. for his continued commitment to transforming us into an #AIBuilder organization.

Sivakumar Palaghat Anantharaman reposted thisSivakumar Palaghat Anantharaman reposted thisIn the UK, we see an increasingly urgent reality: AI continues to accelerate, but the talent to harness it is lagging. That's why Cognizant is joining the Government’s(Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) TechFirst skilling initiative as a strategic partner to help build the next generation of our country's tech workforce. Over the next four years, we will collaborate on volunteering and work placements that provide students and graduates with the skills they need to succeed in the AI economy. Recent Cognizant research has identified that 93% of jobs are already being disrupted by AI today, which means young people will be stepping into a transformed world of work. In partnership with the government, we'll help build the skills and pathways they require so they can thrive in the AI future, and help the UK lead in AI. We're proud to be on board and look forward to this important work together! Liz Kendall Kanishka Narayan MP Ravi Kumar S Manoj Mehta Kathy Diaz Anita O'Connor Yatin Mahandru Vanessa Soames

Sivakumar Palaghat Anantharaman reposted thisSivakumar Palaghat Anantharaman reposted thisI was recently interviewed by The Times Of India about the challenges enterprises face as they embed LLMs deeper into business operations. While today’s models are impressive, they can struggle with longer or more complex chains of reasoning, sometimes breaking down entirely. This highlights a key point: trust in AI systems at scale is not automatic. Human oversight, robust evaluation frameworks, and multi-layered safeguards remain essential, especially as organizations move toward autonomous, multi-agent systems. At Cognizant, we’ve embedded human-in-the-loop mechanisms to ensure AI decisions remain reliable and accountable.

Sivakumar Palaghat Anantharaman liked thisSivakumar Palaghat Anantharaman liked thisCode and coding are no longer moving in tandem—and this gap lies at the heart of AI’s disruption of the software services industry. “Today, we are seeing something similar—what you could call cognitive arbitrage—where labour is increasingly being replaced by machines,” former Cognizant CEO Francisco D'Souza told TOI in a recent interaction. D’Souza founded tech investment firm Recognize a few years ago and raised $1.7 billion for its second fund, just four years after closing its $1.3 billion debut. The firm focuses on companies valued between $50 million and $500 million, leveraging a partnership-driven model to accelerate growth. In his white paper, he describes this shift as the “great decoupling,” where the value of code is rising sharply even as the act of coding becomes increasingly commoditised. This creates a striking paradox. On one hand, the value of code has never been higher—evident in the extraordinary valuations of companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, driven largely by software. On the other, the value of coding—the act of writing code—is trending towards zero, as machines generate code at near-zero marginal cost. “The task of coding is becoming cheap, even while the output, well-functioning code, is worth more than ever. I call this the paradox of value,” he wrote. https://lnkd.in/g7rRAcSE #AI #tech #talent #skillsCognitive arbitrage reshapes IT firms’ economics: D’Souza - The Times of IndiaCognitive arbitrage reshapes IT firms’ economics: D’Souza - The Times of India

𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝘂𝗽 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄 → aiforleaders.com Original post: __________ AI starts feeling simple the moment you see the full picture. Most people keep learning pieces without ever connecting them. That's where confusion comes from. This post maps the entire world of AI and Data - from core building blocks to real systems. At the foundation: APIs, Data Warehousing, OCR, RPA - how data is collected, processed, and moved. Machine Learning, Deep Learning, RNNs - how systems learn patterns from data. Then the modern layer: NLP, LLMs, GPT, Tokenization - how machines understand and generate language. ASR & Text-to-Speech - how AI interacts with human communication. And the analytics layer: KNN, SVM, PCA, Clustering - how data gets classified, reduced, and grouped. GANs & advanced models - how AI creates and simulates data. Here's the shift: → From isolated concepts → to connected systems → From tools → to understanding architecture → From memorizing terms → to seeing the ecosystem Once everything connects, learning AI becomes faster, clearer, and practical. Which part of this ecosystem are you exploring right now? Credit to Ananya Ghosh Chowdhury. Follow her for more.

Sivakumar Palaghat Anantharaman liked thisSivakumar Palaghat Anantharaman liked thisEarlier today, my teenage daughter and I were deep in our usual negotiation — what's allowed, what's not. That's governance. Simple as that. And it's exactly what AI Governance is about. Not slowing innovation down. Not bureaucracy for its own sake. Clearly defining what AI can and cannot do — and who owns the outcome when something goes wrong. Once those boundaries are set with intention, the principles follow naturally: Models must be fair, transparent, and accountable Bias must be actively identified and mitigated Responsibility must have a named owner — not a committee, not a vendor, not "the algorithm" And above all: AI should not make critical decisions without a human in the loop. Here's what that looks like in practice: If I email my doctor about a chest pain, AI can help summarize my history, flag relevant information, even draft a response for the doctor to review. That's useful. But if AI reads that email and autonomously sends a prescription to a pharmacy? That's not innovation. That's negligence!. Governance isn't the enemy of progress. It's the condition that makes progress trustworthy.

Cyber attackers do not all think the same—why should defenders? Latinas in cyber bring cultural fluency, multilingual skills, and sharp pattern recognition that threats do not see coming. Yet they make up less than 1 percent of the field. That is not just a gap—it is a missed opportunity. If we want security strategies that actually scale, we need to start by widening the talent pipeline. #Diversity #Cybersecurity #Culture
