KPMG and Google Cloud really want your business to use AI

Google Cloud and KPMG have announced plans to strengthen their partnership in a bid to get more companies using generative AI systems.

Together with KPMG’s cloud transformation, analytics, and responsible AI expertise, Google Cloud hopes its trusted infrastructure and generative AI capabilities will bring generative artificial intelligence such as Bard into all areas of an organization, in all front, middle, and back offices.

At first, the companies have revealed plans to target the financial services, healthcare, and retail industries.

Generative AI in more sectors

Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian explained: “Through our expanded alliance with KPMG, we will accelerate the application of Google Cloud generative AI throughout the world’s largest organizations, helping them deliver innovation and empower employees, create more value from data, and more.”

The announcement builds on half a decade of partnership and collaboration between the companies, which have already helped global banking giant HSBC leverage AI to help answer policy-related queries.

Google Cloud sees itself delivering generative AI to “practical, real-world” cases, helping organizations to adapt and scale in an era where optimizing has fast become a staple for any business to survive.

KPMG US Deputy Chair and COO, Laura Newinski, highlighted the need to “accelerate digital transformation and manage disruption in the market.” 

Newinski describes the partnership as one that will help clients “innovate at scale and embrace change, while protecting data in a secure environment.”

KPMG firms, which are seen as legally distinct and separate entities, are set to invest in quickly training Google Cloud experts to assist enterprises in adopting generative AI.

Google isn’t the only tech titan to be pushing generative AI outward, with Microsoft’s GPT-powered Copilot weaving its way into a number of business operations including Dynamics 365.

TechRadar's Year in Review: AI revolution, smartphone evolution, and visions of the future

If I had to sum up 2023 in one word it would be AI. Okay, technically that’s two initials, but let’s not quibble – because there’s no doubt that it provided the year in tech with its main story arc. Artificial intelligence was everywhere this year, as every company in the world gawped at the massive impact of ChatGPT, and decided they wanted to jump aboard that bandwagon. You could barely move for new chatbots, new image generators, and new AI-enhanced features in every device released in 2023. And there’s no sign of that changing in 2024; in fact, we expect it to be an even bigger deal. Elsewhere, phones and laptops did much the same as they had the previous year – well, except where they had new AI-enhanced features – so it was in the virtual reality space where bigger changes were afoot. If the Meta Quest 3 was impressive then the Apple Vision Pro looks to be genuinely game-changing, and we can’t wait to see what impact it has in the next 12 months. Of course we also saw plenty ...

Microsoft and Sony enter "binding agreement" to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation

Microsoft has announced that it has reached a "binding agreement" with Sony, pledging to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard.  With Microsoft having won its anti-trust case with the US Federal Trade Commission , its planned acquisition of Call of Duty developers Activision Blizzard has taken a big step closer to becoming a reality. In order to alleviate the concerns of monopoly-building that got Microsoft in legal hot water to begin with, the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, announced yesterday via Tweet that it has entered into an "agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation."  This agreement will no doubt come as a relief to fans concerned that Microsoft's acquisition plans might result in Call of Duty becoming an Xbox exclusive, following in the footsteps of future Bethesda releases. Since Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda caused the studio to break its tradition of offering titles cross-platform for upcomi...

This Stardew Valley-like farming sim plays at the bottom of your screen so you work and play at the same time

Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing are among some of the best choices out there if you're looking for a game to get swept up in for hours at a time. But, if you're a fan of management sims and a multitasker as well, this upcoming farming sim will likely pique your interest.  Developed by Mister Morris Games, Rusty's Retirement is an idle-farming simulation game that runs at the bottom of your gaming monitor, allowing you to focus on other tasks like working while you tend to your crops. Set to release in Q1 2024 on Steam , the idle sim puts you in the shoes of a wholesome robot as you grow crops and use them to produce clean and energy-efficient biofuel. Having gathered this "vital robot power source," you'll then need to sell your harvest to the other machine inhabitants of your settlement. This, in turn, will let you reinvest the money into expanding your farm. If you're a terrible procrastinator (like me) this might not sound like your cup of tea...
