KPMG Launches $100 Million AI Partnership With Google Cloud | PYMNTS.com

Nov 20, 2024 - pymnts.com
KPMG plans to invest $100 million over the next four years in its enterprise AI services, as part of a partnership with Google Cloud. While some of the funds will cover payments to Google, the majority will be used for in-house projects that utilize Google's technology, such as developing AI agents and training KPMG staff in the technology. The firm's bookings for Google Cloud-related services have increased tenfold over the last two years, leading it to seek other cloud providers and announcing a $2 billion, five-year commitment to expand AI and cloud services via Microsoft.

A KPMG poll showed that 50% of companies plan to spend $100 million on AI projects in the next 12 months, with 20% planning to invest at least $250 million. Research by PYMNTS Intelligence also found that 78% of CFOs plan to increase their investments in generative AI (GenAI), with the share of companies using AI for medium-impact functions rising from 35% in March to 45% in June. This indicates a shift from using AI for basic tasks to integrating it more strategically into operations.
