AIデータセンターの電力需要が利益予想を押し上げ 日立は通期の純利益予想を12.2%引き上げて¥900bnとした。AIデータセンターで使われる電力機器の需要が強いことが背景にある。第1四半期の調整後営業利益は39.5%急増し、Digital Systems & Servicesが¥450bnでけん引し、Energyの利益は65%増加した。
日立製作所は10月5日、暗号資産やステーブルコインの取引を対象にマネー・ローンダリングのリスクを監視するサービス「Digital Asset AML Platform」の提供を10月1日から開始したと発表した。金融機関や暗号資産関連事業者などの利用を想定する。日立は7月、金融機関や暗号資産関連事業者など17社との実証結果を公表するとともに、同サービスを10月から提供する方針を発表していた。新サービスでは、犯罪や制裁対象との関連が疑われる情報などにAI・機械学習による分析を組み合わせ、不審な取引の兆候を確認する。取引前に相手先のウォレットを評価するほか、取引後に新たなリスクが判明していないか継続的に監視し、ステーブルコインなどの発行後の流通状況も確認できるという。暗号資産は複数のウォレットや取引所をまたいで送金できるため、1社が持つ情報だけでは不審な資金移動を把握しにくいケースがあり、新サービスでは各事業者が把握したリスク情報も活用し、個社だけでは見つけにくい兆候の検知につなげる。
