To achieve this, the company will accelerate the transformation towards AI-driven businesses. At CES, they announced a collaboration with the US startup Anthropic, considered a rival of Open AI, to start offering wellness services in North America starting this year.
PANASONIC CORP has a wide range of businesses from home appliances to automotive batteries and electronic equipment for aircraft, but AI-driven businesses have been limited to some areas such as Blue Yonder's supply chain management acquired in 2021. While other companies like Hitachi Ltd Sponsored ADR and NEC are enhancing their AI-related services, combining AI into various businesses is seen as a way to increase efficiency and results.
