Recently, Samsung Electronics established the Artificial General Intelligence Computing Lab in Silicon Valley, marking the company's new move in the field of artificial intelligence. Although Samsung missed the wave of artificial intelligence development at an early stage, the establishment of the Silicon Valley lab shows that Samsung is actively preparing for the era of artificial general intelligence, and is expected to become a cutting-edge processor manufacturer.
Samsung has been taking a wait-and-see approach in the field of artificial intelligence, mainly focusing on adding useful AI features to flagship smartphones, while working on high-performance memory chips such as HBM DRAM. However, with the increasing maturity of AI processors, especially Nvidia's GPU-dominated and AMD models dominating to a certain extent, Samsung is stepping up its preparations to play a more important role in the field of AI processing.
According to South Korea's **MK Korea, Samsung will establish an independent research institute in Silicon Valley, named the Artificial General Intelligent Computing Laboratory. The lab will be led by Dr. Woo Dong-Hyuk, a former Google tensor processing unit (TPU) developer. The tensor processing unit is one of a group of large-scale neural networks launched in 2016. The lab is currently recruiting for key positions such as microarchitecture, while Samsung expects to receive significant support from Softbank's $100 billion investment in artificial general intelligence**.
Samsung's layout in the field of AI is not limited to processor manufacturing, and its foundry is also actively involved in advanced AI development. Recently, Samsung signed a major contract with Japan's largest AI developer, which is expected to further attract big companies such as Microsoft, IBM, Arm, and potential rival Nvidia. Nvidia could quickly become Samsung's direct competitor in the field of AI processors.
The establishment of this laboratory indicates that Samsung is actively participating in the era of artificial general intelligence, injecting new impetus into future technological innovation and industry development. Samsung's layout in the AI field indicates that the global semiconductor industry will usher in a new stage of development, and Silicon Valley has also become one of the important positions of global artificial intelligence innovation. With the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence technology, the demand for high-performance, low-power chips will continue to increase, and Samsung's participation will boost the pace of innovation in this field.
