Samsung Electronics to Host AI Forum Next Month... 'Strengthening Next-Generation Semiconductor Research Capabilities'

Keynote Speech by Jim Keller, Semiconductor Expert and CEO of Tenstorrent

Samsung Electronics will host the 'Samsung AI Forum 2023' on the 7th of next month at the Suwon Convention Center, inviting world-renowned scholars and experts in the fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computer Engineering (CE).

The Samsung AI Forum aims to share research achievements in AI and CE technologies to strengthen next-generation semiconductor research capabilities and discuss future development directions. It has been held since 2017, and this year marks the 7th edition. This year, the event is organized by Samsung Electronics' SAIT (formerly the Advanced Institute of Technology), and the forum's theme is 'Hyper-scale AI for a Better Tomorrow.'

The opening address will be delivered by Kyung Kye-hyun, CEO of Samsung Electronics. Yoshua Bengio, a professor at the University of Montreal in Canada, and Jim Keller, CEO of Tenstorrent, a Canadian AI semiconductor startup, will give keynote speeches. Lectures will also follow from Satoshi Matsuoka of Japan's RIKEN Center for Computational Science and Larry Zitnick of Meta AI Research Lab in the United States.

Research leaders in AI and CE at SAIT, along with domestic and international scholars, will also share their current research status and visions. In the AI field, discussions will focus on 'Changes in Large Language Models (LLM) and Industrial AI.' In the CE field, the detailed topic will be 'Hyper-scale Computing for LLM and Simulation.'

SAIT will also hold the award ceremony for the 'Samsung AI Researcher Award,' aimed at discovering outstanding young researchers in the AI field on the day of the forum, as well as the 'Samsung AI/CE Challenge' competition for university and graduate students in Korea. Additionally, there will be excellent paper poster presentations and a networking program for researchers to promote the activation of the AI and CE research ecosystem.

Jin Gyo-young, president of SAIT, stated, "Next-generation semiconductors based on AI and CE are core technologies that enhance the quality of life for future humanity," adding, "SAIT is researching Samsung Electronics' mid- to long-term growth engines through exchanges with global scholars and experts." He further added, "We hope this Samsung AI Forum will accelerate the expansion of the global AI and CE research ecosystem."
