Samsung recently concluded a strategic US visit with Chairman Lee Jae-yong meeting key industry leaders. Discussions with CEOs of Meta (Mark Zuckerberg), Amazon (Andy Jassy), and Qualcomm (Cristiano Amon) explored potential collaborations in various sectors, with a particular emphasis on Artificial Intelligence (AI).
This focus on AI reflects Samsung’s ambition to be a leader in this transformative technology. Their existing Galaxy AI solutions demonstrate this commitment. Lee’s meeting with Qualcomm specifically addressed AI semiconductors and next-generation communication chips, leveraging their existing strong partnership (Samsung often receives exclusive Snapdragon processors).
The discussions with Meta ventured beyond AI, encompassing the future of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Virtual and Augmented Reality were also on the agenda, hinting at a potentially groundbreaking collaboration in these futuristic fields. While details remain undisclosed, Samsung anticipates an expanded partnership with Meta in AI.
Samsung’s final major meeting involved Amazon CEO Andy Jassy. Held at Amazon’s Seattle headquarters, the discussions covered cutting-edge areas like generative AI and cloud computing. Building on their existing collaboration in TV, mobile, and content, this meeting paves the way for an extended partnership.
A global strategy meeting for Samsung executives is planned for later this month. Lee is expected to share his insights and pave the way for a concrete vision and business plan to capitalize on these potential partnerships and solidify Samsung’s position in the AI era.
