Amazon Web Services and Deloitte jointly launched the AI and Data Accelerator Program, aiming at the next generation of AI

The new Innovation Lab and financial support will further strengthen the partnership to help customers around the world realize the value of emerging technologies such as generative AI by deeply integrating data, analytics, and AI and machine learning capabilities with business intelligence.

BEIJING, July 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Deloitte announced the signing of a long-term strategic partnership agreement with Amazon Web Services to help global customers expand their capabilities in generative AI, data and analytics, and quantum computing through Amazon Web Services services such as Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Q, and Amazon Braket. Together, the two companies will establish an innovation lab to help customers explore cutting-edge technologies such as artificial general intelligence (AGI), quantum machine learning (ML), and autonomous robotics, and leverage the capabilities provided by generative AI to help customers innovate and solve industry-specific challenges. In addition, Deloitte and Amazon Web Services will provide funding to help clients bring successful proof-of-concepts (POCs) into production. This initiative is closely linked to Deloitte's IndustryAdvantage™ program, a $2 billion strategic investment to co-create industry solutions with eligible clients and partners.

Deloitte and Amazon Web Services will provide a collaborative platform for engineers from both sides to develop customized solutions for different industries. These industries include Financial Services, Government & Public Sector, Life Sciences & Healthcare, Media & Telecommunications, Consumer, and Energy, Resources & Industrials. This collaboration will deepen Deloitte's and AWS's existing efforts to support clients across industries, particularly in the application of generative AI. These existing industry offerings include: TrueServe™, a suite of advanced contact center solutions that integrate AI technology to improve service responsiveness; The BankingSuite, part of the Converge™ portfolio, is designed to help financial institutions upgrade their legacy technology architectures. In addition, ConvergeSECURITY empowers enterprises on their cloud transformation journey with AI-enhanced cloud security capabilities.

For example, Deloitte's C-Suite AI™ for Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) was one of the first POCs developed by the Innovation Lab. This innovative tool dramatically simplifies the enterprise contract management process by building large language models (LLMs), providing CFOs with a customized, pre-trained interface to answer financial professional questions, automatically generate draft investor documents, and optimize customer service processes. C-Suite AI™ streamlines and automates key aspects of financial planning, operations, reporting, and investor relations. C-Suite AI is a NVIDIA-powered tool that leverages the power of Amazon Bedrock to help customers in the financial services industry build their own large language models.

Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service from Amazon Web Services that delivers high-performance foundation models (FMs) from leading AI companies through a single API. In addition to this, Amazon Bedrock integrates the comprehensive capabilities needed to build secure, privacy-focused, and responsible generative AI applications.

Driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation-led, Toyota Motor North America leverages Amazon Web Services' machine learning and decision intelligence services to optimize its data ecosystem and bring value-added services to its customers.

"Together, Deloitte and Toyota Motor North America have become key enablers of our innovative solutions in machine learning and decision intelligence, including dynamic pricing and parts forecasting, to create greater business value for the business," said Kamal Distell, vice president of data and data science at Toyota Motor North America. "Continuously advancing the company's technology and data capabilities can provide us with more ways to deliver better services in the future."
