SEOUL, Korea – October 12, 2023 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that it will host the Samsung AI Forum 2023 on November 7 at the Suwon Convention Center in Gyeonggi-do, Korea. The forum serves as a platform to showcase the latest research achievements in artificial intelligence (AI) and computer engineering (CE), which will contribute to enhancing the company’s next-generation semiconductor technologies.

Samsung AI Forum 2023, which is being hosted by the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT), will also focus on and highlight the direction of future research, with the presence of world-renowned AI scholars and industry experts. This seventh iteration of the Samsung AI Forum will be an in-person event, held under the theme of “large-scale AI for a better tomorrow.”
