Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI), Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, recently urged Malaysian enterprises to utilise Artificial Intelligence (AI)-related technologies, stating they can enhance overall productivity and “open doors to creativity and strategic thinking.”

One of these technologies is Generative AI (GenAI), which has improved the performance of skilled workers by up to 40%, according to a study by the Malaysia Productivity Corporation. It’s no surprise that 65% of Malaysian employees surveyed in the EY 2023 Work Reimagined Survey believe generative AI will positively impact their work, a sentiment shared by 84% of employers.

To harness unprecedented levels of efficiency, creativity, and innovation, adopting generative AI is essential. However, effective utilisation of generative AI demands more than just advanced algorithms. It also necessitates a robust, scalable, and supportive cloud platform because GenAI projects demand substantial computational power and sophisticated infrastructure.

The right cloud platform must provide the needed computational resources as well as the flexibility, scalability, and support to handle complex, resource-intensive GenAI projects. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offers all this and more, boasting a comprehensive suite of tools and infrastructure that can easily support Gen AI development and deployment.

Specifically, GCP stands out as the ideal platform for GenAI due to the following:

Advanced AI and ML tools. GCP’s advanced AI and Machine Learning (ML) tools streamline GenAI development and deployment, while also supporting popular frameworks like PyTorch to give developers added flexibility. One of these tools, TensorFlow, is deeply integrated into GCP, enabling seamless model building, training, and deployment.
Unrivalled computing power. GCP’s high-performance computing options and powerful CPUs, GPUs, and TPUs (Tensor Processing Units) are engineered to meet the computational requirements of AI and accelerate ML workloads. This unparalleled computing power significantly reduces training times and improves model performance.
Unmatched scalability. GCP leans on a global network of data centres to ensure that computational resources are always available. This 24/7 availability is critical because GenAI projects need more computing power when they become more sophisticated. With GCP, infrastructure limitations or performance bottlenecks won’t hinder companies when they scale up their Gen AI projects.
Vertex AI. GCP’s end-to-end ML platform, Vertex AI integrates various ML tools into one unified platform, in effect simplifying the entire ML lifecycle, accelerating project development, and enhancing collaboration among data scientists, engineers, and other AI stakeholders. Vertex AI also simplifies data management by integrating data labelling, feature store, and model registry, ensuring organisations are building their GenAI models on high-quality data and the latest in AI knowledge.

GCP is the undeniable foundation for next-generation AI initiatives. Forward-thinking organisations seeking to seize the competitive advantage in AI development need the right cloud partner on their side. This is where G-AsiaPacific comes in. A leading cloud service provider in Asia Pacific and a Google Premier Partner, G-AsiaPacific is the bridge companies need to leverage GCP for all their generative AI initiatives.

And with half of Malaysian CEOs still not utilising generative AI, according to PwC’s 27th Annual Global CEO Survey, companies that start exploring GenAI now have the opportunity to become leaders in this space. In short, now is certainly the perfect time to develop and deploy GenAI.
