Accenture, Google Cloud Boost AI, Cybersecurity With 45% Projects Moving To Production
Through their joint generative AI Centre of Excellence, which was launched in December 2023, 45% of joint client projects have moved from gen AI proof-of-concepts to production, the companies said.
Accenture Plc. and Google Cloud announced that their alliance is advancing solutions for enterprise clients and seeing strong momentum across industries in two areas: generative artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.
The two companies said they are increasing their investments in services that support businesses through various stages of gen AI projects, including providing expertise to determine optimal use cases, piloting projects for innovation and deploying engineering capabilities to scale the technology and secure the enterprise.
Accenture and Google Cloud are also deepening their cybersecurity work as enterprises adapt to new risks unique to gen AI, including securing model data, managing cyberattacks and delivering remediation services that minimise breach impact and enable faster recovery.
