Cognizant’s NeuroSAN Advantage: Driving Business Impact with Open-Source AI

Open-source AI is redefining how enterprises innovate, scale, and collaborate. In this episode of Stay Cognizant, host, Pamela Axtell, is joined by Babak Hodjat (Chief AI Officer at Cognizant) and Dan Fink (AVP, Software Architect at Cognizant AI Labs) to explore the launch of NeuroSAN, Cognizant’s open-source, multi-agent AI accelerator.Babak and Dan unpack how NeuroSAN enables organizations to build interoperable, scalable AI systems that connect hundreds of agents, balance privacy and security, and empower non-coders to experiment in natural language. They reveal how an internal project that once required a year of human labor was completed in a single day using NeuroSAN—and why open ecosystems like this could become the “Linux” of enterprise AI.Together, they discuss the business case for open-source adoption, the engineering trade-offs of multi-agent systems, and what it will take to build trust and responsible AI practices as companies move from pilots to full-scale deployment.🔔 Love the podcast?
