Samsung Electronics Co. Chairman Jay Y. Lee vowed Tuesday to contribute to global efforts in creating safe, innovative, and inclusive artificial intelligence (AI).

“AI is fundamentally changing the way we live, work, and communicate with the world,” Lee said at the AI Seoul Summit co-hosted by South Korea and the United Kingdom.

The summit follows up on discussions from the AI Safety Summit held in Bletchley Park, UK, in November 2023.

The virtual event saw participation from Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and representatives from major tech companies including Samsung Electronics.

In his address, Lee emphasized the importance of responsibly harnessing the benefits of AI technology. “It is crucial to minimize the misuse of AI and maximize its benefits through global discussions,” he said.

Lee also highlighted Samsung’s efforts to support engineers worldwide and educate young people, aiming to reduce technological inequalities and gaps within and between nations.

Lee reiterated Samsung’s commitment to ensuring that AI benefits all of humanity through its technologies and products.

He mentioned Samsung’s high-efficiency, low-power semiconductors as an example of how the company helps businesses develop and offer cost-effective and energy-efficient AI services.

Lee underscored Samsung’s dedication to enhancing accessibility and inclusivity through environmentally sustainable AI technologies in its services and products.

Concluding his speech, Lee called for global collaboration to ensure that AI serves as a tool for creating a better future for current and future generations.

“Let’s work together to make AI a tool that creates a better future not just for this generation but for the next,” he said.

Samsung annually hosts an AI forum, gathering insights from world-renowned scholars and AI experts. Last year’s 7th AI Forum focused on safety, trust, and sustainability as key themes for the future direction of AI technology.

Beyond safety and innovation, Samsung is also dedicated to developing “AI for all” technologies, ensuring the broad benefits of AI are accessible to everyone.
