[OpenAI Announces Deepened Collaboration with Samsung Electronics to Co-Develop Next-Generation Chips] As OpenAI advances its own chip development, the company is deepening its collaboration with Samsung Electronics, expanding the partnership into the fields of semiconductors and enterprise AI services. 'One of the most significant and recognized areas of progress in our collaboration with Samsung Electronics is the joint production and development of next-generation chips,' OpenAI Korea General Manager Harrison Kim said at a press conference held in Seoul on Wednesday, though he did not elaborate further. Samsung Electronics stated in a press release that it could not confirm information related to its customers. Kim noted that as more advanced chips are applied to faster and more complex computational tasks, the demand for memory chips will continue to grow. Therefore, collaboration with South Korean semiconductor suppliers has become a priority for OpenAI's local office.
