Samsung’s new artificial intelligence strategy announced earlier today, during the first day of the company’s online-only AI Forum 2020, has surprisingly little to do with computers, machine learning, and all that stuff that first comes to mind when we think about modern AI apps and technologies. Instead, the vision Samsung just outlined for the development of a relatively broad scope of AI-infused solutions is all about humans. Or, better said: it’s all about delivering purpose-built experiences entirely committed toward human end users.
With that said, the company’s AI-focused semiconductor strategy shift from earlier this year isn’t something separate from today’s announcement. Instead, this human-centric long-term vision is merely an extension of Samsung’s efforts aimed at embracing AI technologies as vertically across its organizational spectrum as its capabilities allow. And its capabilities allow for pretty much anything you can imagine as even remotely feasible. That’s the cool thing about being one of the world’s largest technology companies across nearly every existing niche and several emerging ones.
