Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)

AMD is an aggressive adopter and developer of AI technology, positioning itself as both a manufacturer of AI hardware (Instinct MI300X/MI250 GPUs, Ryzen AI NPUs) and a contributor to the open-source AI software ecosystem (ROCm, open-weight models). The company's AI activity is overwhelmingly product-facing — building and selling AI compute infrastructure — rather than deploying AI internally to automate its own workforce. In November 2024, AMD cut approximately 1,000 employees (4% of workforce), framing the move as a resource reallocation toward 'largest growth opportunities' including AI chips; however, the causal link between internal AI adoption and these specific cuts is circumstantial at best, as the stated rationale was strategic competitive repositioning against Nvidia. AMD has published a Responsible AI Use Policy and maintains a public 'Responsible AI' page emphasizing transparency, human agency, and fairness, consistent with its open-source posture.
