services to optimize their data foundations for generative AI
solutions.
- Increasing Expertise to Boost Generative AI development:
Kyndryl will grow its AI and data analytics skills base by
increasing the trainings and bootcamps available to practitioners
via the Google Cloud Academy for Kyndryl. With investments to
increase AI expertise in Google Cloud generative AI, including Duet
AI for Developers, across its workforce and its experience with
Google's Generative AI Initiative for Service Partners, Kyndryl is
well positioned to address demand for generative AI solutions and
bring Google Cloud-powered solutions to customers.
"Given Kyndryl's data services expertise, along with our more
than 30 years of experience managing large enterprise environments,
Kyndryl understands the complexities in moving a generative AI
solution from an idea into production," said Nicolas Sekkaki,
Kyndryl's Global Applications, Data and AI Practice Leader. "By
combining this unique perspective and the Kyndryl Responsible AI
Principles with Google's AI history and in-house generative AI
capabilities, we can quickly and responsibly bring this new
generation of AI to customers and drive their business
value."
"Generative AI can fundamentally improve how businesses
operate, helping large-scale organizations streamline complex
processes and enable their workforces to be more productive," said
Yateendar Bollini, Director of Global Consulting Partnerships,
Google Cloud. "Through our expanded partnership, Kyndryl will
provide enterprise customers with the services expertise and
generative AI solutions needed to accelerate business
transformation with Gemini on top of the security capabilities and
trusted infrastructure of Google Cloud."
As part of their early collaboration on generative AI solutions
for customers, Kyndryl and Google Cloud have helped iHub Solutions,
