Gamuda Berhad (Gamuda) has yesterday announced the expansion of its collaboration with Google Cloud to enable enterprise-grade generative AI capabilities accessible and useful to every employee of the company to empower them to deliver engineering, construction and public infrastructure projects more efficiently and innovatively in the region.
According to John Lim Ji Xiong, Group Chief Digital Officer, Gamuda Berhad – the company's use of generative AI is another step in the journey of continuous digital innovation to transform the still very traditional engineering and construction industry. Through the Gamuda Innovation Hub, the company embarks on a new journey with a data-driven digital approach to construction while improving skills in Google Cloud efficiency.
He added that Google Cloud is Gamuda's choice of cloud service provider because they have extensive expertise in planetary scale data management and the latest AI. This makes it easy for Gemuda's workforce to build their own AI gen tools to tackle work challenges in a private and secure way.
Gamuda also uses Vertex AI Search and Conversation to build generative search and conversation applications for its market monitoring, design and technical teams. Employees can turn thousands of pages of research documentation into clear summaries in minutes and query data from hundreds of past projects for insights to inform new project tender proposals. At the same time generative AI accelerates the process of moving from concept to impact faster than expected.
