Cognizant (NASDAQ:CTSH), a leading AI Builder and technology services provider, today detailed how it is building and preparing the American workforce for the AI era.  The Company's research finds that AI could unlock $4.5 trillion in U.S. labor productivity and $1 trillion in additional U.S. economic value over the next decade, and Cognizant is committed to helping American workers capture that opportunity first.  Cognizant plans to hire 1,500 U.S. college graduates and scale a new Frontier Certified Engineer and Frontier Business Operator workforce to 15,000 people, backed by annual direct hiring from universities. The company's position is that AI should expand opportunity for American workers, not shrink it.
