Hitachi, Google Cloud sign deal to bring AI to businesses

By Ben Glickman

Hitachi and Google Cloud said they would work together in a strategic partnership to drive the adoption of artificial intelligence.

As part of the multi-year partnership, Hitachi (JP:6501) said Tuesday it would form a new business unit focused on helping companies solve industry problems with Google's Gemini, Vertex AI and other cloud technologies. The conglomerate will also use Alphabet's (GOOG) (GOOGL) Google Cloud AI in its own products and services.

The companies will establish a Hitachi Google Cloud business unit and the Google Cloud Center of Excellence, both aimed at bringing Google's artificial intelligence technology to customers.

GlobalLogic, a unit of Hitachi, will lead the company's efforts.

Hitachi said the partnership would help it accelerate the growth of its core digital business, Lumada.
