If you are seeking a prepared package for installation on AIX, I am not aware of one.

AIX does support Python. You can install Python from the AIX toolbox repository.

Then download the Google Cloud SDK CLI source. You can then run the SDK CLI on your system. gcloud is a Python program.

The only issue is the package dependencies. I am not sure that all dependencies for all commands are available for AIX. You should not have a problem with the core features.
