Vodafone wanted to scale its AI initiatives across multiple markets and streamline development processes. To address these needs, they created AI Booster, a centralized AI platform built on Vertex AI and using Cloud Build. This platform empowers Vodafone's data scientists with pre-built pipelines, standardized tools, and automated deployments, significantly reducing the time it takes to move from proof of concept to production-ready AI solutions. For example, AI Booster spins up environments with pre-configured security and privacy guardrails, automates deployment, and provides pre-built templates, all of which free up data scientists’ capacity to focus on innovation and value creation.
