$Alphabet(GOOGL.US) Alphabet and IBM are collaborating a multi-billion-dollar market opportunity and will focus on scaling AI across industries including banking, retail, and telecommunications. As part of the agreement, IBM and Google Cloud are launching a new Google Cloud Practice that combines IBM’s consulting expertise with Google Cloud’s AI infrastructure to accelerate AI adoption and modernization projects. By partnering with IBM, Google Cloud aims to ensure that joint customers can move beyond pilots to deploy and govern production-grade AI agents across their entire cloud environment. This comes as positive news given that investors were not entirely pleased with Alphabet raising funds and issuing new shares by diluting current shareholders. @Bridge Buzz SG
