On the 24th (local time) at the San Francisco Artificial Intelligence (AI) Summit in San Francisco, USA, Chairman Lee emphasized, "The era of AI cannot be achieved by the capabilities of just one company or one country. Building a perfect ecosystem—from innovative AI models to state-of-the-art semiconductors, and the data centers and abundant power needed to deliver stable services—absolutely requires global collaboration beyond borders."

He further explained, "The United States possesses the world’s best core AI technologies, platforms, and outstanding talent, while Korea maintains unparalleled competitiveness in semiconductors, devices, and cutting-edge manufacturing sectors."

Chairman Lee added, "Every time I visit Silicon Valley, I am amazed by the pace at which artificial intelligence is transforming our lives and the world. How we develop and utilize AI will determine what kind of different future awaits us. The very way humanity works, thinks, and lives is being fundamentally changed."

He went on to stress, "Samsung has put into practice a management philosophy of contributing to human society through technology. We will continue to drive innovation aimed at safe and enriching AI for humanity, in step with the global community."

Chairman Lee stated, "I am reminded of the story in the President’s autobiography, in which as a child in a remote rural elementary school, he touched a helicopter that had landed on the playground and was filled with wonder, nurturing dreams for the future. Just as that boy dreamed of the future after seeing a helicopter for the first time, we at Samsung will do everything we can so that the next generation living in the AI era can pursue even greater dreams."
