WALTHAM, MASSACHUSETTS, November 6, 2020 – Lionbridge, a global leader in localization and AI data training services, today announced that it has entered into an agreement to sell its artificial intelligence (AI) division, Lionbridge AI, to TELUS International, a digital customer experience (CX) innovator that designs, builds and delivers next-generation solutions for global and disruptive brands. TELUS International is a subsidiary of Canada-based TELUS Corporation (T-TSX; NYSE-TU), a leading communications and information technology company. The transaction is expected to close this year.
Lionbridge AI will bring its market-leading, crowd-based training data and data annotation capabilities, used in the development of AI algorithms to power machine learning, to TELUS International’s suite of next-generation digital solutions.

This transaction is a further step in Lionbridge’s transformation and will sharpen our focus and accelerate our investments in innovative technology solutions for our core language market.”
