Artificial Intelligence Strategies Revealed by Verizon for Meeting Future AI Requirements
Verizon Unveils AI Connect: A Scalable Solution for Businesses
Verizon has announced the launch of Verizon AI Connect, an integrated suite of solutions and products designed to help businesses deploy artificial intelligence (AI) workloads at scale. This new platform leverages Verizon's secure network and advanced infrastructure to provide a scalable, secure, and efficient AI solution for enterprises.
At the heart of Verizon AI Connect is a platform that integrates AI technologies within Verizon's network. This platform supports the processing of large data volumes and AI-driven insights directly within Verizon's infrastructure. This approach ensures privacy and performance for enterprises deploying AI solutions.
One of the real-world applications of Verizon AI Connect is in network performance optimization and customer service enhancement. Verizon uses generative AI to predict call intent and route callers efficiently, improving service delivery and operational efficiency.
To expand its AI ecosystem, Verizon has formed partnerships and collaborations with industry leaders. These alliances bring domain expertise and advanced AI capabilities to various applications and industries. For instance, Verizon collaborates with technology and cloud service providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Meta. Partners like AWS, with companies such as Presidio collaborating in generative AI innovation, exemplify the type of alliances that accelerate AI adoption and deployment in enterprise environments.
Verizon's partnership with Vultr, a global GPU-as-a-Service and cloud computing provider, is another key collaboration. Through this partnership, Vultr can extend its global cloud footprint and bring cutting-edge AI solutions to Verizon Business' global customers.
Verizon's connectivity infrastructure is uniquely positioned to support Vultr's growth, as demand for data centers and GPU processing power outpaces supply. The rapidly growing demand for real-time inference is driving the need for AI infrastructure at the edge, a need that Verizon AI Connect aims to address.
In the realm of network maintenance and anomaly detection, Verizon and Google Cloud have collaborated on advanced AI solutions. Google Cloud can accelerate the development and deployment of AI solutions with Verizon's advanced network capabilities. Meta, on the other hand, aims to build and operate networks that support existing services and accelerate more intelligent and predictive capabilities. Partnering with Verizon will strengthen Meta's network with AI and the future in mind.
NVIDIA AI and accelerated computing, integrated with Verizon's network, allow enterprises to easily adopt AI-powered services at scale. Ronnie Vasishta, the senior vice president of Telecom at NVIDIA, stated that telecom networks are uniquely positioned to provide a distributed AI infrastructure that meets enterprise needs.
Verizon's industry leadership, best-in-class edge-to-cloud connectivity, and assets will enable the company to meet the needs of businesses and accelerate innovation in the AI ecosystem. The shift towards real-time decision-making (inferencing) in AI is expected to drive demand for additional computing power, with 60-70% of AI workloads expected to shift to real-time inference by 2030. With Verizon AI Connect, businesses can be ready for this shift and harness the power of AI to improve their operations and service delivery.
The integration of Verizon AI Connect with NVIDIA's AI and accelerated computing solutions provides businesses with an opportunity to easily adopt AI-powered services at scale, leveraging the scalability of Verizon's secure network for finance operations and business growth. To further bolster its AI capabilities, Verizon has formed partnerships with industry leaders such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Meta, bringing advanced AI technology from these companies into various business sectors, including technology and finance.
