NEC Corporation has officially announced a significant collaboration with Google Cloud Japan aimed at building a robust and open ecosystem centered around AI agents. This partnership is set to integrate NEC’s deep expertise in artificial intelligence with Google Cloud’s cutting-edge cloud capabilities to drive innovation in AI solutions.
The collaboration encompasses several key areas designed to foster the development and deployment of sophisticated AI agents. Firstly, NEC will provide its proprietary Agentic AI solutions on the Google Cloud platform, making its advanced AI capabilities accessible within Google’s cloud environment. Secondly, NEC’s extensive experience in AI governance will be applied to AI implementations on Google Cloud, ensuring responsible and ethical AI use.
Furthermore, the partnership involves the deployment of Google Cloud’s Vertex AI Search and Google Agentspace within NEC’s internal information infrastructure. This integration will enable NEC to enhance its own operational efficiency and leverage Google’s AI tools internally. Concurrently, NEC will focus on the development and operation of new AI agents, utilizing Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK) and Google Agentspace to create tailored solutions.
NEC has been actively involved in the generative AI space, having offered generative AI services since July 2023 under its ‘BluStellar’ value creation model. At the core of these offerings is ‘cotomi’, NEC’s proprietary generative AI. Through this expanded partnership, NEC aims to further broaden the scope and functionality of these services, while simultaneously enhancing their added value and ensuring the delivery of secure and reliable generative AI solutions to its clientele.
