The meeting was titled "The Next 10 Years Transformed by AI: Choices for Businesses." Participants discussed the direction of AI technology and its potential applications, as well as emerging markets and business opportunities.

They also discussed how AI will change corporate decision-making and organizational operations. Key agenda items included the capabilities executives need in a rapidly changing business environment and ways to apply AI to practical work.

Before meeting with CEO Altman, the presidents also took part in hands-on training in generative AI. They learned how to use AI to organize scattered management materials, build personalized "knowledge repositories" and apply them to decision-making.

Since launching its first intensive AI training program for presidents in June, Samsung has been working to incorporate AI across its operations, including research and development (R&D), production, marketing and support. To date, it has provided AI training to about 2,300 executives and plans to complete training for all employees by February 2027.

Samsung is also expanding its cooperation with OpenAI. In October 2025, Samsung Electronics and OpenAI signed a letter of intent (LOI) to cooperate on building global AI infrastructure and have been pursuing the supply of memory semiconductors needed for OpenAI's Stargate project.

Samsung SDS is working with OpenAI on AI data center construction and AI services for businesses, while Samsung C&T and Samsung Heavy Industries are pursuing the joint development of offshore floating data centers. Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong has also continued engagement between the two sides, including a visit to OpenAI's headquarters in San Francisco in July.
