research activities
Samsung Electronics today announced the opening of Samsung AI Forum 2025, taking place from Sept. 15-16. Now in its ninth year, the forum serves as a global venue where leading scholars and industry experts gather to share the latest breakthroughs in AI and explore future research directions.
“Samsung is applying AI across our operations to develop foundational technologies that make AI more intuitive and seamless,” said Young Hyun Jun, Vice Chairman and CEO of Samsung Electronics, in his opening remarks. “This year’s Samsung AI Forum brings together leading experts from industry and academia to discuss how AI is transforming society and industry, and to share insights in what we expect will be a meaningful exchange of ideas.”
This year’s forum features keynote lectures from world-renowned AI scholars; including Yoshua Bengio, Professor at the University of Montreal and a pioneer in deep learning; as well as Stefano Ermon, Professor at Stanford University and Co-founder of the startup Inception, who spearheaded the development of diffusion-based language model (DLM).
Day One: Global Scholars Explore the AI Semiconductor Future
Samsung’s Device Solutions (DS) Division hosted the first day of the forum under the theme “Vertical AI Strategies and Vision for the Semiconductor Industry,” near Samsung’s semiconductor site in Yongin, Korea.
Professor Bengio delivered a keynote address outlining the far-reaching risks of today’s AI models, including their ability to bypass human control and the potential for misuse. As a safeguard, he introduced Scientist AI, a new model designed to help mitigate such concerns.
“Unlike models built to mimic or please humans, Scientist AI focuses on providing truthful answers grounded in verified facts and data,” said Professor Bengio, highlighting the model’s potential to enhance AI safety and accelerate scientific discovery. He also shared his latest research findings on AI for materials development in the keynote.
