Lee Jae-yong, chairman of Samsung Electronics, emphasized the company's commitment to nurturing the next generation in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) by referencing a story from President Yoon Suk Yeol's autobiography.
Speaking at the San Francisco AI Summit on July 24, Lee recalled a moment from the president's autobiography when he described feeling awe as a boy after seeing a helicopter land at his rural elementary school 50 years ago. Lee stated, "Just as that boy dreamed of the future upon seeing the helicopter, we at Samsung will do our utmost to ensure that the next generation living in the AI era can dream even bigger dreams."
He also highlighted the significance of Korea-U.S. cooperation, stating, "The AI era cannot be achieved by the strength of a single company or nation alone. If the strengths of our two countries combine, we can innovate faster, grow larger, and solve more complex challenges."
Lee expressed his amazement at the rapid pace at which AI is transforming lives and the world during his recent visits to Silicon Valley. He noted, "How we develop and utilize AI will determine the vastly different futures that lie ahead of us. Humanity's way of working, thinking, and living has fundamentally changed."
He added, "Building a perfect ecosystem that includes innovative AI models, cutting-edge semiconductors, reliable data centers, and abundant power is essential, as is global cooperation that transcends borders."
Finally, Lee reiterated Samsung's management philosophy of contributing to society through technology, stating, "We will continue to pursue innovations in AI that enhance safety and improve human life in alignment with the global community."
