Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has launched the Samsung AI Forum, a two-day event where the company shared the latest strides in artificial intelligence (AI) and computer engineering (CE) to improve its next-generation semiconductor technology.
The forum gathered over 1,000 attendees, including esteemed academics, industry specialists, researchers, and students, on its first day at the Suwon Convention Center in Gyeonggi-do, Korea. Themed “large-scale AI for a better tomorrow,” the event’s initial day was hosted by the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT). The second day, slated for November 8, will be hosted by Samsung Research at the Samsung R&D campus in Seoul, Korea.
Kye Hyun Kyung, President and CEO of Samsung Electronics’ Device Solutions (DS) Division, emphasized the significance of Generative AI technology, calling for in-depth research on AI’s safety, trustworthiness, and sustainability. The forum aimed to foster discussions about creating a brighter future through AI and semiconductor technologies.
Key speakers included Yoshua Bengio, a deep learning expert from the University of Montreal, who shared insights on safe AI systems, and Jim Keller, CEO of AI semiconductor startup Tenstorrent, who presented the RISC-V open instruction set architecture (ISA).
The discussions centered on LLMs, AI industry transformation, and large-scale computing for LLMs and simulation. SAIT experts shared their vision of integrating AI into semiconductor development and explored future possibilities in semiconductor processing.
The event also recognized outstanding researchers and students through the Samsung AI Researcher Award and the Samsung AI/CE Challenge. Notable figures in AI research were honored, and student teams were commended for their submissions to the AI/CE Challenge.
The forum offered a platform for presentations, exhibitions, and networking, enabling engagement within the AI and CE communities.
