Hasmukh Ranjan, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), has spoken about the company's approach to artificial intelligence and the role of IT in the AI era. In a December 2023 workshop at Jaipuria School in Patna, India, he told students that AI is "all about mathematics and computation" and advised them to "start from the basic math and science" and to "be rooted in basics and focused on your future." He also said that people should "move more toward how to take advantage of [AI] rather than worry about what negative things could bring to the world." In an August 2023 interview with InformationWeek, Ranjan described a multi-layered AI strategy at AMD, which he called "PCH: plumbing, curated data and harvesting of the data." He stated that it will take "about three to four more years before industry or enterprises start realizing the full value of AI adoption" and that "unless you have a good, curated data set and a clear data strategy, there's no AI." He also discussed the importance of IT in the AI era, saying "there has never been a better time to work in IT" because AI is built on data and infrastructure. In a 2023 interview on the Technovation podcast, Ranjan noted that AMD acts as "customer zero" for its own products, deploying them internally to gather feedback. He also outlined three key areas for IT leaders: aligning with business priorities, understanding financial efficiency, and communicating in business language.
