Samsung Electronics is strengthening its artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities in the semiconductor business. The company has recruited Han Bo-hyeong, a Fellow and authority on deep learning and computer vision AI, along with data engineering expert Han Tae-rin (SVP), to boost its AI transformation (AX) capabilities in the semiconductor sector.

According to Samsung Electronics on the 14th, Han Bo-hyeong will lead the development of AI models specialized for semiconductor research and development (R&D). He earned a bachelor's and master's degree in computer science from Seoul National University and a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Maryland. He previously served as an assistant professor at Pohang University of Science and Technology's Department of Computer Science and as a professor at Seoul National University's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Han Tae-rin (SVP) will be responsible for building 'AI Ready Data,' a data foundation that AI can immediately utilize. The executive graduated from Seoul National University's Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering and earned a master's degree in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He later worked as a Senior Engineering Manager at Meta and as a Senior Developer at Persona in the United States.

The strategy aims to transform all semiconductor operations—from design to process and manufacturing—around AI, thereby improving development efficiency and productivity while also strengthening competitiveness in AI semiconductors.

This talent acquisition is seen as a strategic move to directly apply AI to core semiconductor business tasks. Semiconductor development requires vast amounts of data and complex analysis, ranging from the design phase to optimizing process conditions, detecting anomalies during production, and quality control—making it a field where AI-driven innovation can yield significant results.

Particularly, with AI both driving semiconductor demand and transforming the very manufacturing methods themselves toward an AI-centric approach, industry attention is focused on this move.

Samsung Electronics plans to continue securing key talent in the AI and data fields and to disseminate their expertise throughout the organization, thereby strengthening company-wide AI capabilities.
