Event serves as a platform to share analysis achievements that can lead to enhancements to Samsung’s superior semiconductor expertise

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. at present opened the Samsung AI Forum, at which it shared the newest analysis achievements in synthetic intelligence (AI) and laptop engineering (CE), contributing to enhancing the corporate’s next-generation semiconductor expertise.

With over 1,000 attendees — together with main teachers, business consultants, researchers, and college students — day 1 of the seventh iteration of the Samsung AI Forum occurred on the Suwon Convention Center in Gyeonggi-do, Korea, below the theme of “large-scale AI for a better tomorrow.” A two-day discussion board, the primary day was hosted by the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT), and day 2 shall be hosted on November 8 by Samsung Research on the Samsung R&D campus in Seoul, Korea.

Kye Hyun Kyung, President and CEO of Samsung Electronics’ Device Solutions (DS) Division, mentioned in his opening remarks, “The spotlight has recently shifted toward Generative AI technology, as it provides us the potential to unlock new solutions and address long-standing challenges. But the need for in-depth research on the safety, trustworthiness, and sustainability of AI is increasing at the same time.” About the occasion, Kyung added, “We expect this forum — where top global experts have gathered — will be a platform to discuss ways to create a brighter future through AI and semiconductor technologies.”

Safe Direction for AI Research Suggested; Future of LLM-Based Semiconductors Shared

Yoshua Bengio, knowledgeable in deep studying expertise and professor on the University of Montreal, shared his newest analysis in a keynote presentation titled, “Towards a Safe AI Scientist System.” He launched a secure AI machine studying algorithm that may forestall massive language fashions (LLMs) from growing in instructions not supposed by builders.

Jim Keller, CEO of AI semiconductor startup Tenstorrent, launched the open instruction set structure (ISA) RISC-V throughout his session titled, “Own Your Silicon,” and emphasised that RISC-V will create new prospects in next-generation AI by means of innovation in {hardware} construction design.

Overall, day 1 of Samsung AI Forum 2023 addressed two key matters: LLMs and the Transformation of AI for Industry, and Large-scale Computing for LLMs and Simulation. The matters coated AI and CE, respectively.

With SAIT serving as the corporate’s R&D hub and incubator for cutting-edge applied sciences, SAIT researchers shared their visions on how the way forward for semiconductor growth and manufacturing will change by integrating AI into all areas of semiconductors, and explored the chances of future computing in semiconductor processing, together with massive simulation accelerated by machine studying.

Accolades Presented to Exceptional Researchers and Students

During the discussion board, Samsung additionally hosted a ceremony to announce the winners of the Samsung AI Researcher Award and the Samsung AI/CE Challenge. The intent of those accolades is to honor up-and-coming researchers, college college students and graduates who’re excelling domestically.

Samsung AI Researcher of the Year awards had been introduced to 5 AI researchers: Professor Connor Coley at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Professor Jason Lee at Princeton University, Professor Emma Pierson at Cornell University, Professor Xiang Ren at University of Southern California, Professor Virginia Smith at Carnegie Mellon University.

Among the honorees Professor Lee is specializing in theoretical and utilized analysis together with deep studying, reinforcement studying and optimization. In specific, his work was extremely praised for its contribution to the event of AI analysis world wide by means of the publication of a number of excellent papers on optimization.

The honor of successful the Samsung AI/CE Challenge, with submissions from 1,481 college students comprising 410 groups, went to 16 groups.

Ph.D. scholar Keondo Park from the Seoul National University Graduate School of Data Science, a member of the grand-prize successful staff, mentioned, “In the course of implementing our AI project directly, we were able to explore deeply about possible problems. The AI/CE challenge was a good opportunity to broaden our horizons on research.”

Furthermore, SAIT introduced a poster of main analysis papers in addition to exhibitions of analysis initiatives in AI and CE. It additionally ready networking packages for attendees to interact within the important AI and CE ecosystems.

The official video for Samsung AI Forum 2023 shall be obtainable on the Samsung Electronics YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/@Samsung) from November sixteenth.
