S&P Global Launches Generative AI Search on the S&P Global Marketplace

New Search Experience Leverages a Large Language Model (LLM) and Natural Language Question and Answer to Generate Curated and Relevant Offerings

NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — S&P Global announced today the launch of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled search on the S&P Global Marketplace (Marketplace). Marketplace is S&P Global’s data and solution exploration platform that represents offerings from all five divisions of S&P Global, Sustainable1, Kensho and curated third-party providers. 

The Marketplace Generative AI search is a global solution designed to simplify and enhance the discovery of S&P Global’s offerings. It responds to user’s natural language queries with detailed answers, making the search process more intuitive and efficient. Additionally, it proactively recommends other relevant data sets and services, in turn broadening the user’s perspective. 

“This exciting new offering on Marketplace is another example of how S&P Global is accelerating the adoption of AI across the company with the purpose of transforming how our customers interact with our data assets and solutions and integrate our services into their workflows using AI,” said Bhavesh Dayalji, Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer at S&P Global and Chief Executive Officer of Kensho. “The new AI-powered search engine revolutionizes the way we serve our customers and enable them to discover new datasets in a seamless and intuitive way.”

The Generative AI search utilizes a Large Language Model (LLM) and is powered by the information and metadata on Marketplace, along with S&P Global’s leading technical documentation. It was developed in partnership by Market Intelligence, the division within S&P Global that provides information services and solutions to global markets, and Kensho, the AI-innovation arm of S&P Global.  

“As data and solution demands increase, we saw a compelling opportunity to combine Kensho’s Generative AI capabilities with the S&P Global Marketplace,” said Justine Iverson, Head of S&P Global Marketplace and Capital IQ Solutions Strategy. “Our clients now benefit from an innovative search experience that meets them where they are on their discovery journey — whether it’s initial research to a more technical understanding of our offerings.”

Since acquiring Kensho in 2018, S&P Global has leveraged state-of-the-art AI techniques to enable critical workflows and allow customers to unlock deeper insights more quickly with solutions like Scribe, NERD, Classify, Extract and Link. Generative AI search on Marketplace is the latest enhancement powered by Kensho. Most recently, S&P Global Market Intelligence upgraded its S&P Capital IQ Pro platform, incorporating an AI-enabled search experience, enriching content accessibility, and delivering enhanced personalization.

The factors noted above are not exhaustive. The Company and its subsidiaries operate in a dynamic business environment in which new risks emerge frequently. Accordingly, the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date on which it is made, except as required by applicable law.
