Industry transformation requires integration expertise
Google Cloud’s strategy goes beyond merely providing technology; it aims to assist organizations in integrating AI into their core operations.
“We understand that adopting AI can be challenging for many organizations. They need to learn how to incorporate it into their essential business functions,” stated Kurian. “For instance, if you’re an insurance company, you might leverage AI to enhance underwriting, as we do with Hiscox. If you’re a bank, AI could be utilized for product origination or fraud detection, similar to our work with HSBC.”
For Google, the UK is a significant investment and strategic market. “As the driving force behind Google, our Gemini models continue to support the vibrant UK tech sector by enabling developers and businesses both in the UK and globally to achieve breakthroughs with AI,” remarked Hassabis.
