\u201cThe work will kick-off from Unilever\u2019s global AI Lab \u2018Horizon3 Labs\u2019, recently opened in Toronto\u2014a city recognized for its concentration of AI expertise and home to one of Accenture\u2019s six Gen AI studios in North America,\u201d it said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The two companies will explore new applications to scale generative AI, for example, assets from Accenture\u2019s AI Navigator or its proprietary \u2018switchboard\u2019, which allows a user to select a combination of models to address the unique business context.
\n\u201cThis collaboration builds on our relationship of more than three decades with Unilever, which continues to raise the bar as a digital powerhouse and industry leader. The combination of \u2018Horizon3 Labs\u2019 disruptive innovation with Accenture\u2019s deep expertise and strong ecosystem partnerships will help Unilever scale AI and generative AI more rapidly and responsibly across its business and discover new pathways to value,\u201d said Julie Sweet, chair and CEO, Accenture.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are excited about building on our long-standing partnership with Accenture to step up our innovation agenda and drive value for our consumers, retailers, and distributors. Horizon3 Labs is a unique platform for collaboration and co-creation, and we look forward to working with Accenture and other partners to take our investment in AI to a new level,\u201d said Steve McCrystal, Chief Enterprise and Technology Officer, Unilever.<\/p>\n
This initiative will leverage the industry solutions and accelerators within Accenture\u2019s previously announced $3 billion investment in data and AI.
