With over
1,000 attendees — including leading academics, industry experts, researchers,
and students — day 1 of the seventh iteration of the Samsung AI Forum took
place at the Suwon Convention Center in Gyeonggi-do, Korea, under the theme of
“large-scale AI for a better tomorrow.” A two-day forum, the first day was
hosted by the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT), and day 2 will
be hosted on November 8 by Samsung Research at the Samsung R&D campus in
Seoul, Korea.
Kye Hyun
Kyung, President and CEO of Samsung Electronics’ Device Solutions (DS)
Division, said 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 event, 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 SharedYoshua Bengio,
expert in deep learning technology and professor at the University of Montreal,
shared his latest research in a keynote presentation titled, “Towards a Safe AI
Scientist System.” He introduced a safe AI machine learning algorithm that can
prevent large language models (LLMs) from developing in directions not intended
by developers.
Jim Keller,
CEO of AI semiconductor startup Tenstorrent, introduced the open instruction set architecture (ISA) RISC-V during his session titled, “Own Your Silicon,” and
emphasized that RISC-V will create new possibilities in next-generation AI
through innovation in hardware structure design.
Event serves as a platform to share research achievements that will result in enhancements to Samsung’s advanced semiconductor technology
Overall, day 1
of Samsung AI Forum 2023 addressed two key topics: LLMs and the Transformation
of AI for Industry, and Large-scale Computing for LLMs and Simulation. The
topics covered AI and CE, respectively.
With SAIT
serving as the company’s R&D hub and incubator for cutting-edge
technologies, SAIT researchers shared their visions on how the future of
semiconductor development and manufacturing will change by integrating AI into
all areas of semiconductors, and explored the possibilities of future computing
in semiconductor processing, including large simulation accelerated by machine
learning.
Accolades Presented to Exceptional
Researchers and Students
During the
forum, Samsung also hosted a ceremony to announce the winners of the Samsung AI
Researcher Award and the Samsung AI/CE Challenge. The intent of these accolades
is to honor up-and-coming researchers, university students and graduates who
are excelling domestically.
Samsung AI
Researcher of the Year awards were presented to five 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 focusing on theoretical and applied research
including deep learning, reinforcement learning and optimization. In
particular, his work was highly praised for its contribution to the development
of AI research around the world through the publication of several outstanding
papers on optimization.
The honor of
winning the Samsung AI/CE Challenge, with submissions from 1,481 students
comprising 410 teams, went to 16 teams.
Ph.D. student
Keondo Park from the Seoul National University Graduate School of Data Science,
a member of the grand-prize winning team, said, "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 presented a poster of leading research papers as well as exhibitions of
research projects in AI and CE. It also prepared networking programs for
attendees to engage in the vital AI and CE ecosystems.
The official
video for Samsung AI Forum 2023 will be available on the Samsung Electronics
YouTube Channel (
