Thomas Kurian: 5 Big Remarks On Google’s Generative AI Future
Mark Haranas
Here are Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian’s boldest statements regarding Google’s generative AI strategy and future following the unveiling of new AI offerings this month for Google Workspace and Google Cloud.
The Best AI Ecosystem For Partners To Build And Innovate
Kurian said Google Cloud’s motto of having the most open partner ecosystem will always include generative AI. Channel partners can leverage Google’s AI technology to build their own foundation models on.
“If you’re an enterprise working with McKinsey or BCG [Boston Consulting Group] to understand where best to adopt AI, or asking a partner like Deloitte, Accenture, TCS or Quantify to help actually implement AI—we’re working with them on a broad range of solutions,” said Kurian.
Kurian said partners get several benefits from working with Google Cloud on AI innovation.
“They get the world’s best AI infrastructure, the highest performance and lowest cost, best quality for both training and serving, and access to our foundation models and our products through APIs that they can integrate into application workflows,” said Kurian. “We take these products that partners build and bring them through Google Cloud to the tens of thousands of developers who build applications in Google Cloud every day through Vertex AI through our Cloud Marketplace.”
He added that Google also helps partners in a range of areas from go-to-market strategies to providing teams with top-notch resources.
“Our joint end customers get the benefits of choice, simplicity and the best cost performance in using the models they want to use,” Kurian said.
