Samsung is accelerating its ‘AI Grand Transformation’ through deep organizational restructuring, strategic talent acquisition, and hardware development. To centralize AI operations, the group has established Chief AI Officer (CAIO) roles at several subsidiaries. Samsung Display appointed Vice President Noh Chul-rae to lead the AX Research Institute, while Samsung Electro-Mechanics named Vice President Jang Woo-seok to oversee AI-driven process automation. Within Samsung Electronics, the AX team has been upgraded to the AX/PI (Process Innovation) Center, with ‘AX competency enhancement’ now carrying significantly more weight in executive performance evaluations. In the semiconductor sector, the Device Solutions (DS) division is recruiting specialists to integrate ‘Agentic AI’ and digital twins across the value chain. Key hires include deep learning expert Han Bo-hyung, focusing on vision AI for wafer analysis, and data engineering expert Han Tae-rin, who is tasked with constructing ‘AI Ready Data.’ Additionally, the System LSI division continues to use Anthropic’s Claude Code to expedite tasks like verifying System-on-Chip connections, though engineers maintain human oversight to manage technical errors. On the hardware front, Samsung is developing ‘Gaia,’ a 4nm AI accelerator featuring a high-performance Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for on-device Large Language Models. Furthermore, Samsung has partnered with Arm to develop next-generation AI system-on-chips using a 2nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) manufacturing process, aiming to enhance on-device AI performance for smartphones and terminal devices. This collaboration seeks to reduce cloud dependency and latency, with industry speculation suggesting OpenAI could potentially become an end customer for these advanced chips. ~~Separately, the company is reportedly working on an internal humanoid robot project to leverage~~ Expanding its ~~proprietary motor~~ hardware capabilities, Samsung Electro-Mechanics recently showcased advanced semiconductor packaging and ~~actuator technologies.~~ substrate technologies for AI accelerators at KPCA SHOW 2026. These include 2.5D and 2.1D package substrates, as well as glass substrates. The company is currently operating a glass substrate pilot line with plans for full-scale production by 2028.
