SK Hynix is exploring the adoption of external generative AI tools, including ChatGPT, following Samsung Electronics' lead. The semiconductor industry is increasingly looking to leverage AI beyond administrative tasks to enhance productivity in research and development and overall organizational operations.
On June 11, Kwak No-jung, CEO of SK Hynix, discussed the potential for integrating external generative AI models during a CEO town hall event at the New Icheon Forum.
Kwak stated, "We are considering the implementation of MS 365 and Copilot, and we are also reviewing the feasibility of using ChatGPT Enterprise from a security and system architecture perspective." He added, "We plan to gradually introduce and expand the use of external AI in areas not related to national core technologies."
Currently, SK Hynix operates an internal AI service utilizing open-source generative AI models. The introduction of external AI models will allow employees to choose from various AI tools based on their job functions.
Given the significant concerns about the potential leakage of core technologies, such as design and process data, it is anticipated that the initial application of external AI will focus on document creation, meeting summaries, and general administrative tasks.
Samsung Electronics is also accelerating its efforts to innovate operations using generative AI. The Digital Transformation division has officially integrated external generative AI services, including ChatGPT, Gemini Enterprise, and Claude, while the Device Solutions division is sequentially implementing ChatGPT and Gemini following Claude.
Kwak emphasized, "In the age of AI, it is not just about who knows more, but who learns and adapts more quickly. The process of experiencing AI and changing work methods will become SK Hynix's new competitive advantage."
