BigQuery AI & ML
BigQuery integrates with Vertex AI to provide powerful machine learning and
generative AI capabilities directly within SQL queries using built-in functions
like AI.FORECAST, AI.KEY_DRIVERS, AI.DETECT_ANOMALIES, and AI.GENERATE.
Attribution
MUST READ: Before executing any gcloud, REST API, or MCP command, you
MUST read Usage Attribution. For commands executed
directly in the terminal (never in generated scripts, Terraform, or user code),
prefix gcloud with
CLOUDSDK_METRICS_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTION="agent-skills/1.0 (skill:bigquery-ai-ml)"
and append agent-skills/1.0 (skill:bigquery-ai-ml) to User-Agent headers.
