Ask what Korea is talking about.

On October 31, 2026, about 50 executives from Samsung Group affiliates met with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman at the Samsung Human Resources Development Center in Yongin, Gyeonggi, for a discussion themed 'AI will change the next 10 years, corporate choices' (Yonhap, Chosun Ilbo). The meeting focused on AI transformation strategies, including collaboration on memory and data centers, and Altman gifted a 'Codex keyboard' with 13 buttons, OpenAI's first hardware product, priced around 300,000 won (Korea Times, Dong-A Ilbo, Chosun Ilbo). Korean media report that Samsung aims to accelerate its 'AX' (AI transformation) drive, with the session also including hands-on practice with a 'knowledge repository' (Maeil Business, Hankyung).
