open AI hub in boost to UK technology sector
London, Paris, 15 October 2018
- Atos, a global leader in digital
transformation, together with Google Cloud, today welcomed Minister
for Digital and the Creative Industries, Rt Hon Margot James MP to
launch Atos' first artificial intelligence (AI) lab under the Atos
and Google Cloud's global partnership.
The Atos AI lab in London will
bring together expertise in AI alongside private and public sector
organizational capabilities to collaborate and unlock
cross-enterprise opportunities. The new lab will be available to
businesses and public-sector organizations across Europe to utilize
AI technologies and to define and design use cases relevant to
their needs, such as for example, using connected sensors in the
supply chain of an energy company to create safer and more
efficient operations to using data analytics and machine learning
algorithms to reduce fraud in financial services.
The Atos AI Lab will enable Atos
to enrich its data analytics suite Codex Industry Solutions with
Google AI and data technologies to provide customers with
industry-specific solutions. It will also help build an ecosystem
of highly-skilled AI workers in London and across Europe.
The Minister
said: "The UK is leading the way when it comes
to expertise in Artificial Intelligence, and the new Atos labs will
help to develop this exciting area of technology further. Through
our modern Industrial Strategy and near £1 billion Sector
Deal, we're putting AI at the forefront of our plans to make the UK
the best place in the world to start and grow a digital
business."
Adrian Gregory,
CEO, Atos UK & Ireland said: "The opening
of this first AI Lab marks a new era in enterprise transformation
and opportunity. In combining the advanced capabilities of Atos and
Google Cloud AI technology, organizations will have access to
compelling solutions acting as a springboard to growth in an
evolving, digitally focused marketplace."
Paul
Emsley-Martin, Head of SI Partnerships at Google Cloud, said:
"The new AI labs from Atos will be a valuable
resource for European businesses wanting to take advantage of
Google Cloud AI capabilities. This is a great next step in our
partnership with Atos, and we are delighted to continue working
with Atos to bring Google Cloud AI, infrastructure, machine
learning and collaboration tools to enterprises worldwide."
In April of 2018, Atos and Google
Cloud formed a global partnership to deliver secure hybrid cloud,
machine learning, and collaboration solutions to organizations.
Atos named Google Cloud its preferred public cloud provider. The
Atos AI lab is opening as a component of this partnership with
Google Cloud to address the digital transformation needs of
enterprise customers. Additionally, Atos plans to open two
additional AI labs located in Paris, France and Dallas, Texas,
USA.
These initiatives are discussed in detail in the
newly released Atos Digital Vision for AI opinion paper which
explores how enterprises are using AI and what's ahead for
organisations and society.
