Nearly a year later, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has once again visited Samsung.
Samsung said in a statement that Altman met in Yongin, south of Seoul, with about 50 executives from Samsung's electronics, finance and biotechnology business units, including Samsung Electronics CEO and head of the DS (semiconductor) division (vice chairman) Jun Young-hyun, Samsung Electronics CEO and head of the DX (Device eXperience) division (president) Roh Tae-moon, head of the AI Center of Samsung Electronics' DS division Song Yong-ho, Samsung SDI President Choi Joo-sun and Samsung Electro-Mechanics President Chang Duck-hyun.
The Samsung executives completed hands-on training on generative AI before the meeting, Samsung's second such training session following its first executive AI intensive training in June. The training covered topics such as how to use AI to organize scattered management data and how to build a personal "knowledge base" to assist decision-making. Samsung hopes to enhance its AI application capabilities by promoting a culture that encourages executives to learn AI themselves and apply it to their work.
At the same time, Samsung is also expanding AI training for all employees. Since June last year, Samsung has been advancing an "AI grand transformation" aimed at introducing AI into all departments, including R&D, production, marketing and support functions. Starting with president-level training, it has so far trained about 2,300 executives, with the goal of completing AI training for all employees by February 2027 and establishing an AI-centered management system.
Samsung Electronics and OpenAI signed a letter of intent in October last year aimed at building global AI infrastructure, and have been seeking to supply the memory semiconductors needed for OpenAI's "Stargate" project. Samsung SDS is cooperating with OpenAI in the fields of AI data center construction and enterprise AI services, while Samsung C&T and Samsung Heavy Industries have agreed to jointly develop offshore floating data centers.
