Samsung Electronics is enhancing its semiconductor competitiveness by hiring external experts in artificial intelligence (AI). The company plans to expand AI applications across all core semiconductor operations, from design to manufacturing, to improve research and development (R&D) efficiency and productivity.
On August 14, Samsung announced the recruitment of Han Bo-hyung, a fellow in deep learning and vision AI, and Han Tae-rin, an expert in data engineering.
Han Bo-hyung will lead the development of AI models specialized for semiconductor R&D. Vision AI technology enables computers to learn from large-scale image and video data, recognizing objects and patterns within them and analyzing their meanings.
Han earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in computer engineering from Seoul National University and received his Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Maryland. He served as an assistant professor in the computer engineering department at Pohang University of Science and Technology before becoming a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Seoul National University in 2018.
Han Tae-rin will be responsible for building 'AI Ready Data,' which involves processing and managing data for immediate AI application. This role is crucial for establishing the data infrastructure necessary to apply AI models to actual semiconductor operations.
Han graduated from Seoul National University with a degree in mechanical and aerospace engineering and obtained a master's degree in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He worked as a senior engineering manager at Meta from 2016 and served as a senior developer at Persona in the United States last year.
With these new hires, Samsung plans to accelerate the AI transformation (AX) across its core semiconductor design, process, and manufacturing operations.
A Samsung official stated, "We will continue to secure key talents in the AI and data fields and spread their expertise throughout the organization to enhance our overall AI capabilities."
