OpenAI announced that Chairman Lee and CEO Altman will hold a meeting on the morning of the 25th (local time) at OpenAI's headquarters in San Francisco, United States, together with key executives from both companies.

The two sides are expected to discuss potential cooperation in AI infrastructure fields, such as High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), DRAM, and advanced foundry technologies.

In particular, the main agenda is likely to center on plans for an "AI transformation" through the application of generative AI across all work processes at Samsung Electronics. Previously, Samsung Electronics decided to roll out ChatGPT and the AI coding tool Codex to all of its employees.

There is also a possibility that the companies will discuss linking Samsung Electronics' memory semiconductor and foundry capabilities with OpenAI's large-scale AI infrastructure business.

Since October of last year, Samsung Electronics and OpenAI have been promoting a strategic partnership to expand the production of advanced memory semiconductors and to build next-generation AI infrastructure.
