Digital transformation leader Atos has partnered with Google Cloud to establish an AI lab in Paris, France that seeks to develop hybrid cloud solutions that focuses on AI and machine learning in connected work environments. “Our technologies enable our partners and their customers get the best value out of their data securely,” says Eric Haddad, Managing Director of Google Cloud France.

Marcus Lawrence reported on the Google Cloud-Atos project for Gigabit:

The facility will enable customers, and private and public organisations to identify use cases for AI, co-create and prototype workable AI solutions, and drive adoption of the rapidly developing technology.

“With this joint laboratory between Atos and Google Cloud, we are enabling the adoption of artificial intelligence by our clients by offering them the best technologies and the highest level of security for their data processing, all within a clearly defined European regulatory framework,” said Thierry Breton, Chairman and CEO of Atos, in the company’s press release.

“As such, Atos combines economic and technological development with sovereignty, compliance and security and helps to design a secure and valued European information space.”

The partnership between Atos and Google Cloud was launched in April 2018 with a view to accelerating the development of secure hybrid cloud solutions, AI and machine learning, connected work environments and data analytics. Besides the lab in Paris, the partnership has also seen the opening of similar facilities in London and Dallas, Texas.
