Accenture and Google Cloud today announced the establishment of a global generative AI Center of Excellence to help enterprises improve operations, create new business lines, and build unique customer experiences. The center will offer industry expertise, technical knowledge, and product resources, leveraging Google Cloud's generative AI product suite to build and scale applications, and accelerate value realization. The new center will combine Accenture's tailored services and engineering capabilities with Google Cloud's advanced AI technologies to provide unique resources for clients, and will optimize the development and deployment of AI models using Google's latest model, Gemini. The Gemini Pro API is now available for public preview, with Gemini Ultra set to launch early next year.
