[{"type":"text","content":"Agreement will support the \"Blue Economy\" through digital solutions designed to give aquaculture and other ocean-based industries insights to help reduce their carbon output while improving business outcomes. 3.3bn people rely on the ocean for food and economic security.\nTEANECK, N.J., June 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cognizant (Nasdaq: CTSH) today announced that it is collaborating with Tidal, a project inside X, Alphabet's Moonshot Factory, to make Tidal's ocean information platform widely available to the aquaculture market. Until now, Tidal's platform has been available to select pilot partners only, offering data-driven insights designed to improve the sustainability and efficiency of their operations. Cognizant will use its software and systems integration expertise to bring the Tidal platform to the broader aquaculture market.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nLonger term, Cognizant and Tidal will explore additional ways to apply the platform to make an impact on industries that depend on ocean insights, including blue transportation; blue energy, and blue carbon. Together with aquaculture, part of blue food, these sectors of the blue economy represent a significant opportunity to decarbonize large ocean-based industries.\nThe Technology\nTidal has developed a digital technology solution that utilizes innovations in underwater perception, machine learning, AI, and automation to gather and analyze data. Cognizant will collaborate with Tidal to make these technologies more widely available to the aquaculture industry to help them make more intelligent decisions, build more resiliency into their operations, and run more efficiently in a strict regulatory environment.\nFor the past five years, Tidal has worked with aquaculture industry leaders to develop its solution, which includes a system of underwater cameras, sensors, machine perception tools and software designed to interpret complex ocean environments. The current platform has been built and validated using Tidal's AI, which has been trained on 8 billion underwater observations of fish behavior across 900 terabytes of operational video.\nThrough its longstanding relationships with global enterprises that make up the Blue Economy, Cognizant will be able to help companies integrate Tidal's technology into their enterprise systems, linking data from across their business to gathe...
