[AI Chip Supply Tightens, OpenAI CEO Meets with About 50 Samsung Executives to Deepen Cooperation] According to Bloomberg, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman met with about 50 Samsung Group executives in South Korea on October 31 to discuss deepening cooperation in memory chips and AI infrastructure. Attendees came from Samsung's electronics, finance, and biotechnology divisions, and discussions covered the impact of AI on industry, corporate decision-making, and business opportunities over the next decade. This meeting comes at a time of global memory chip supply shortages and rising prices. Surging demand from data center operators is further intensifying competition for chip supply. The world's top five AI infrastructure players plan to invest over $3 trillion in the coming years, with memory chips accounting for about one-third of data center spending. This meeting also continued the cooperation previously announced by both parties, including supplying memory chips for OpenAI's "Stargate" infrastructure project and collaborating on the construction of AI data centers, including floating data centers at sea.
