Samsung C&T and Samsung Heavy Industries will collaborate with OpenAI to advance global AI data centers, with a particular focus on the joint development of floating data centers. Floating data centers are considered to have advantages over data centers because they can address land scarcity, lower cooling costs and reduce carbon emissions. Still, their technical complexity has so far limited wider deployment. Building on their proprietary technologies, Samsung C&T and Samsung Heavy Industries will also explore opportunities to pursue projects in floating power plants and control centers, in addition to floating data center infrastructure. Starting with the landmark partnership with OpenAI, Samsung plans to fully support Korea?s goals to become one of the world?s top three nations in AI and create new opportunities in the field.



Samsung is also exploring broader adoption of ChatGPT within the companies to facilitate AI transformation in the workplace.
