Google Duplex, an Artificial Intelligence
(AI) innovation from Google, uses natural
language processing, an AI voice interface
to make phone calls and schedule
appointments on behalf of its users.
That simplified example is how AI and
Big Data is being commonly incorporated
into businesses – a rising trend observed
across major industries.

This makes sense because AI helps
us conceptualise an increasingly large
amount of data in real time, especially
as worldwide data is expected to grow by
61% to 175 zettabytes by 2025, according
to International Data Corporation.

Closer to home, Sunway Group (via its, IT Shared Services Center and Group
IT) has partnered with Google and Deloitte Consulting to launch their Go

organisation through the incorporation of AI and Big Data across all Sunway
businesses to multiply revenue growth through the use of data within each

business unit.
The program, which ran from January to February this year, saw cross
industry participation with teams from other divisions such as Corporate,
Property, Theme Park, Hospitality, Healthcare, Education, Malls and Loyalty.
During the workshop, business units explored how trends in business,
technology and culture change would impact the industry in the coming years.

We want to become an insights-driven organisation at our
core. We want to drive synergy across business units. We
want to focus on the business challenges and partner with
Deloitte and Google to tackle the technical challenges. There
are no bad ideas, having tried before and failing is not a
problem, and no idea is too big. This is an exploration,
said Sunway Group President Dato Chew Chee Kin
at the opening speech of the event.

Since December 2019, Deloitte, Google and Sunway Group have organised,
challenged, ideated, brainstormed, and collectively developed multiple business
initiatives that would provide Sunway with a number of opportunities to explore
and take steps towards being a digital native.
Moving forward, the Sunway Go Transform team is poised to take its first steps
14 towards transformation through data consolidation, data mining, data training

and data mastery while building a data culture at Sunway.
