It now handles most of Verizon\u2019s inbound consumer calls and chats each month.<\/p>\n<p>On the network side, speaking at the DTW Ignite conference in June, representatives from Verizon and Google Cloud described building what they called the industry\u2019s first temporal digital twin of a live network: a real-time model designed to help predict, detect and resolve issues before customers are affected.<\/p>\n<p>The work is intended to push Verizon toward Level 4 autonomous network operations and could deliver up to 35% in projected operations and maintenance cost savings.<\/p>\n<p>Verizon is also applying Google Cloud\u2019s data and AI tools to marketing, automating content creation and campaign orchestration, while separately working to strengthen its cloud security through improved threat detection and risk governance.<\/p>\n<p>The partnership builds on a multi-year effort by Verizon to consolidate legacy data lakes onto Google\u2019s Agentic Data Cloud, which the companies explained laid the groundwork for the current AI push by reducing data silos and operational overheads.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Mobile World Live<\/p>\n<p>Image Credit: Verizon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google Cloud recently announced a strategic partnership with Verizon focused on deploying AI across the operator\u2019s customer experience,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":150543,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[24,18317,132,1429,2194,1226],"class_list":["post-150542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-google","tag-ai","tag-ai-deployment","tag-google","tag-google-ai","tag-google-cloud","tag-verizon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150542","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150542"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150542\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
