South Korean search engine giant NAVER woos Samsung to build South Korean version of ChatGPT

According to South Korean media reports, on May 14, people familiar with the matter said that South Korea's two major technology giants, Samsung Electronics and NAVER, will jointly develop a generative AI tool for enterprises, benchmarking ChatGPT.。

NAVERFor South Korea's search engine giant, the industry is already calling the shots。It is reported that as early as February this year, NAVER said at the "DEVIEW 2023" developer conference that it would develop the Korean version of ChatGPT - HyperClova X.。HyperClova X will focus on Korean language learning compared to English-born ChatGPT。In addition, the company hopes to strengthen the local language training of AI, which can overcome the data reliability problems caused by different languages。NAVER also intends to use artificial intelligence CHAT robots on its basic business, search services, to help users present the best search results.。

For Samsung, perhaps the company's feelings about artificial intelligence are quite complicated。There are media reports that in the past few months of ChatGPT wave, Samsung Electronics' victim image is particularly prominent。It is reported that in less than 20 days of allowing employees to use ChatGPT, Samsung has had three leaks of confidential information due to misuse or abuse by employees.。Two of them are related to semiconductor equipment, and the other is related to conference content。

For security reasons, Samsung Electronics now prohibits employees from using generative AI tools on the company's computers, tablets, phones and internal networks, and employees' personal devices cannot download any generative AI tools that could leak the company's intellectual property and data, and violators may be fired.。

Perhaps it felt more reliable to participate, Samsung chose to work with NAVER。It is reported that after the development of the Korean version of ChatGPT is completed, it will be the first to be tried out in Samsung's device solutions department (Device Solutions)。According to media reports, the two companies also plan to launch AI chips in the second half of this year, and have now completed the technical verification of related chips.。
