Samsung Electronics will allow its employees to use generative artificial intelligence (AI) models developed by other companies, such as ChatGPT, starting next month, according to an internal memo Tuesday.
The tech giant plans to officially launch an external generative AI service sometime in June targeting its employees in the device experience (DX) division, representing the company's display, mobile and home appliance businesses, the notice said.
Samsung is also reportedly pushing to open a live-in training course to teach AI utilization sometime in the second half, with around 2,000 of executives from Samsung Electronics and its major affiliates expected to attend, industry insiders said.
Previously, employees at Samsung were only allowed to use its internal AI model, Samsung Gauss, due to security concerns.
