Coforge rolls out Data Cosmos to turbocharge AI-led data transformation
GREATER NOIDA: Coforge has launched Data Cosmos, an AI-enabled, cloud-native data and analytics platform aimed at helping enterprises overhaul fragmented data estates and accelerate digital transformation.
Unveiled on December 16, the platform is designed to modernise legacy systems, cut maintenance costs and simplify the adoption of advanced analytics and GenAI at scale. It combines Coforge’s proprietary IP, reusable accelerators and agentic components into a single foundation for building domain-specific, cloud-native data solutions.
At the heart of Data Cosmos are five technology portfolios: Supernova, Nebula, Hypernova, Pulsar and Quasar, covering the entire data lifecycle, from legacy-to-cloud migration and governance to autonomous DataOps, MLOps and large language model orchestration.
To speed execution, Coforge has bundled a Data Cosmos toolkit featuring more than 55 accelerators and 38 AI agents, enabling enterprises to move faster from strategy to impact. The platform also powers “Galaxy” solutions: pre-built, industry-specific offerings for sectors such as banking, insurance, travel, healthcare, public services and retail.
Coforge global head of data Deepak Manjarekar, said the platform aims to turn data complexity into competitive advantage by embedding intelligence across enterprise operations from day one.
Data Cosmos is already being deployed in large-scale transformation programmes for global clients, including unified data platforms and cloud-led modernisation initiatives, as companies race to make data estates AI-ready.

OpenAI researcher Zoe Hitzig resigns over ChatGPT ad plans
Zoe Hitzig says an ad-driven model could put user privacy and AI integrity at risk.
CALIFORNIA: OpenAI researcher Zoe Hitzig has resigned from the company, citing concerns about the introduction of advertising in ChatGPT. Hitzig, who spent two years working on AI development and governance, announced her departure in a guest essay for The New York Times, just as the company began testing ads.
Hitzig’s main concern is not the presence of ads itself, but the long-term financial pressure they could create. While OpenAI maintains that ads will be clearly labelled and will not influence the AI’s responses, she argues that dependence on ad revenue can eventually change how a company operates.
She also expressed concern about the vast amount of sensitive data OpenAI holds, questioning whether the company can resist the tidal forces that push businesses to monetise private information.
“I resigned from OpenAI on Monday. The same day, they started testing ads in ChatGPT. OpenAI has the most detailed record of private human thought ever assembled. Can we trust them to resist the tidal forces pushing them to abuse it?” she wrote in a post on X.
Her warning points to a growing tension between business priorities and ethical responsibility, raising the question of whether a company can deliver objective AI responses while also keeping advertisers happy. It also underscores concerns around data privacy, as OpenAI handles vast amounts of personal information, creating risks that go beyond those faced by earlier tech platforms. At the same time, there are fears about future integrity, with financial pressures potentially pushing AI systems to favour engagement over accuracy or safety.
As ChatGPT moves from a purely subscription-based model toward a more commercial approach, the industry is watching closely. For Hitzig, the shift represents a fundamental change in OpenAI’s mission, raising concerns that the drive for profit could eventually compromise the integrity of the technology.
