   Competition heats up to take lead in AI initiative at Samsung

   Tech behemoth strives to catch up on AI specialists, database with AI-powered appliances, new services
   
   
   Currently, Bixby is led by the IT and mobile communications division and supported by the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology and Digital Media & Communications R&D Center.
   
   SAIT is a center researching on future technologies looking to the distant future -- five or 10 years -- while DMC R&D Center is aiming to shift the paradigm of electronics within one or two years.
   
   SAIT is led by chip expert Chung Chil-hee, while the DMC R&D Center is headed by Kim Chang-yong specializing in 5G, 3-D technologies and digital media.
   
   And multiple divisions at Samsung are in competition to take initiative in the AI drive.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   “In the absence of the de facto leader (Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong), the company doesn’t yet have one (a particular head or organization) to take the lead in AI,” the official said. “SAIT, DCM R&D Center and each business division are separately preparing for AI,” but they would need a clear control tower to create better synergy, the official said.
   
   In an apparent move to move forward, Rhee In-jong, the head of the mobile division who was responsible for the rollout of Bixby, was replaced earlier this month by Chung Eui-suk, formerly Samsung Research America’s vice chief, to lead the voice assistant, under Samsung’s mobile chief Koh Dong-jin.
   
   
   Ssung....get rid of the push to talk, ie THe Bix button...
   
   thanks.

   Flows of data to enable innovation in autonomous car, healthcare sectors: Samsung president

   Streams of data will bring in innovation in self-driving car and healthcare technologies, Samsung Electronics Co. President and Chief Strategy Officer Sohn Young-kwon said, urging business and government to prepare the era of the data economy by taking risk and reducing regulations.
   
   “In just 60 seconds, Google deals with nearly 380,000 queries, and 3.3 million posts are uploaded on Facebook,” Sohn said at a session titled “Driving Innovation in the Data Economy” at the 18th World Knowledge Forum on Tuesday. “Such flood of data is creating new opportunities in the healthcare and self-driving car industries.”
   
   Sohn added that the exponential rise in data with enhanced connectivity will finally allow artificial intelligence and Internet of Things (IoT) to lead innovation in human life. Accumulated data over the past decades is ready to make big changes in human life after it has been applied to various sectors such as healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and agriculture. New devices such as smartphones have served as catalyst in boosting new industries.
   
   
   The Samsung executive expected that the data economy would have the most profound impact on healthcare and self-driving car industries. He projected it may cost only $100 to analyze human genome 10 years later and prevalent genome analysis would lead to new opportunities in the aging society by offering customized treatments and allow disease prediction.
   
   Sohn cited strict regulations and a lack of entrepreneurship in Korea as obstacles in the era of data economy. The country’s so-called “pali-pali” or fast culture could help promote overall growth, but it also could defer advancement. Sohn urged companies to make long-term investment with patience looking ahead five to 10 years.
   
   QUIK veterans understand the long-term investment and patience Sohn speaks of,

   The rise in healthcare costs as a result of population aging as well as the increasing prevalence of chronic illness has become a critical social issue. And so there is a rapidly growing need for Mobile Healthcare (MH) solutions, by which normal people can better manage their health status and prevent themselves from becoming chronically ill patients. MH is enabled via the merging of advanced sensor technologies along with Information and Communication technologies.
   
   
   MH solutions continuously sense, analyze, and transmit various clinical parameters (including not only vital signs but also a range of biomedical signals, glucose levels, physical activity levels, etc.) obtained in real-time, anywhere, anytime, via ubiquitous wearable and/or implanted biomedical sensors, so that health specialists can remotely monitor user conditions, provide feedback, as well as initiate appropriate health advices. This is a truly revolutionary system that helps to provide quality healthcare services at low cost.
   
   
   SAIT is performing world-class research on smart MH solutions for businesses in today’s rapidly evolving healthcare industry. We envision the creation of core technologies that will allow novel sensing of human health conditions in non-invasive manner and novel sensing platforms to be networked with smart personal devices such as wearable devices, smart phones, tablet PCs, and smart TVs, combined with new healthcare services that can be easily integrated into our daily lives.
   
   
   that sentence....MH solutions are for businesses as Rick has written on.
