New agreement will include connecting CGI
PulseAI and Google Cloud Platform to help clients accelerate
time-to-value use cases
MONTRÉAL, Nov. 2, 2023
/PRNewswire/ - CGI (NYSE: GIB) (TSX: GIB.A) today announced
the expansion of the company's partnership with Google to drive
innovation in the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI)
technologies. This partnership will help clients accelerate their
time-to-value from new generative AI use cases specific to their
industries. As part of the agreement, CGI will leverage Google
Cloud Platform (Google Cloud) to enhance the capabilities of its
CGI PulseAI™ solution, a hyper-automation and decision engine
platform that uses AI and machine learning models to deliver
high-performance intelligent process automation.
"AI continues to be at the top of discussion agendas with
clients around the world seeking trusted advice from CGI for how to
responsibly move from AI experimentation to implementation—while
accelerating their return on investment," said CGI President and
Chief Executive Office George D. Schindler. "Our expanded
partnership with Google is one of the key global alliances that
will help us develop and deliver new AI-based services and
solutions for clients, as well as expanded skills development
opportunities for our consultants."
"Generative AI is fundamentally changing how many businesses
operate, fueling a new era of cloud that can benefit virtually
every area of an organization," said Thomas
Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud. "By utilizing Google Cloud's
leading GenAI capabilities, CGI can help clients unlock new
insights that help them improve operations and
productivity."
Google's Vertex AI will enable CGI PulseAI to build trusted
industry-specific large language models that will enable the
development and implementation of unique generative AI use cases
for clients. For example, in the financial sector, Google Cloud's
trusted data will enable CGI PulseAI to refine a tailored model,
called "FinPulseAI," for financial services clients.
Likewise, unique models can be developed for other industries,
increasing CGI PulseAI's rapid adaptability in meeting the
industry-specific needs of clients. For example, CGI plans to
explore the use of Google's MedPaLM2 model for
transforming medical claims processing and validation. The
initiative will merge CGI's deep health sector expertise with
Google's advanced AI model to provide enhanced medical claim
validation and fraud detection for health clients.
Clients will be able to process medical claims faster and with
greater accuracy, ensuring that each claim is legitimate and
compliant. By harnessing the power of models like MedPaLM2, health
providers, researchers, and administrators will have expanded tools
that enable better delivery of care while expanding the boundaries
of medical science for the benefit of patients and society.
Google Cloud's robust, scalable infrastructure also will
accelerate clients' implementation of CGI PulseAI services by
managing all computing and memory requirements, increasing the
solution's customization capabilities and enabling a broader range
of solution offerings. With the integration of Google Cloud and CGI
PulseAI, clients can better meet today's business demands, as well
as predict and address industry challenges before they emerge,
helping them stay at the forefront of their industries.
CGI will launch Google AI training globally as an addition to
the AI curriculum in its "CGI Academia" online university. The two
companies also will develop AI sandboxes using Google Cloud
technologies to support ongoing AI development in support of the
delivery of innovative solutions.
CGI's end-to-end capabilities in data science and machine
learning, combined with its deep domain knowledge and technology
engineering skills, help clients generate new insights,
experiences, and business models powered by AI. CGI PulseAI is a
