Google Cloud has announced a major partnership with Accenture to establish a joint business group aimed at accelerating artificial intelligence adoption within enterprises. Dubbed the Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group, the initiative focuses on deploying specialized forward-deployed engineers directly into organizations to help them build custom AI applications using the Gemini platform.
