AMD, a leading global semiconductor company, is leveraging its expertise in semiconductor technology to advance artificial intelligence both internally and for the broader market. Chief Information Officer Hasmukh Ranjan oversees a 1,000-person team driving AMD’s AI implementation through a strategic framework of Assist, Action, Automate, and Autonomous principles. AMD’s advanced semiconductor products enable applications such as large language models (LLMs), while the company uses its technology internally to streamline operations in engineering, HR, and procurement. Ranjan highlighted the dual focus as a major advantage, positioning AMD as both a contributor to AI innovation and a model for AI adoption.
Ranjan envisions AI fundamentally transforming IT by maximizing data utility and reshaping job roles. With enterprises today utilizing only 5% of their data, AMD’s access to cutting-edge compute power enables it to pioneer AI solutions that could eventually leverage up to 75% of available data. The company has created an "AI Compute" team and tailored AI tools to enhance efficiency across various job roles. Ranjan also stressed the importance of partnerships, measurable KPIs, and workforce reskilling to ensure AMD’s AI initiatives deliver real value.
