According to a Chosun report, multiple Samsung Electronics officials said, “All other in-house software development organizations have been restricted from using GPUs.” This means the company invested all of its GPU resources into AI development to complete the development by the next month.
At the group management meeting, plans for collaboration with various companies such as Open AI, Microsoft, Google, and Naver were discussed, but the conclusion was reached at a recent top management meeting attended by Chairman Lee Jae-yong to “develop in-house as soon as possible.”
The report further states that could make all Galaxy smartphone users disappointed. Initially, Samsung’s AI language model is planned to be used by employees for tasks like software development, document summarization, and translation.
Samsung aims to increase productivity by developing its own AI without security problems and without relying on language models made by Open AI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft, and Google. However, the company has not yet decided whether to service the AI under development to general users.
