Hitachi CIO details tailored AI strategy, focusing on productivity and job-specific tools

Hitachi's enterprise AI strategy is not a one-size-fits-all approach, according to CIO Bala Krishnapillai. Instead, the company focuses on three categories of AI tools: general productivity aids like Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini, job-specific applications tailored to roles such as content creation or sales analysis, and AI coding assistants, with a particular focus on Anthropic's offerings. Krishnapillai emphasizes the need to control token consumption and track AI spending across the conglomerate's diverse business units, which span various industries and generate significant revenue.
