Summary
Cognizant and Google Cloud announced a major expansion of their alliance to accelerate agentic AI, including a new Gemini Frontier Capability Group staffed by more than 18,000 dedicated Cognizant associates. Cognizant says over 55,000 associates have already completed its Build with Gemini workshop. The group will focus on legacy modernization, developer experience, agentifying business processes, and cyber defense. Cognizant cites a retailer case with a 40% developer productivity gain; that figure is the company's own claim.
