IMD business school for management and leadership courses

Hitachi has embedded AI as a core pillar of its digital strategy. In June 2024, Hitachi and Microsoft agreed to a multibillion-dollar, three-year alliance to deploy Azure OpenAI, GitHub Copilot, and Dynamics to 270,000 employees, accelerating product innovation and productivity. Hitachi also advanced internal platforms to manage company/open data safely for generative AI (GenAI).  

On products, in July 2024, Hitachi Vantara launched Hitachi iQ, and an AI Discovery Service to make clients AI-ready, while Hitachi Energy released Nostradamus AI for energy forecasting.  

Operationally, Hitachi reported 1,000+ GenAI use cases and a domain-specific LLM leveraging OT know-how across finance, manufacturing, and transportation. Governance matured too: AI ethics principles were extended in March 2024 to cover external services, and AI governance is updated continuously.
