On November 26, financial analyst Dan Nystedt revealed on the X platform that OpenAI is in talks with Samsung Electronics to discuss the possibility of integrating ChatGPT into Samsung's latest Galaxy AI system. This collaboration model is similar to Apple's current partnership with OpenAI, aimed at enhancing language understanding and interaction capabilities for Samsung's AI system.
It is noteworthy that Samsung has already integrated Google's Gemini model into its latest Galaxy AI. If Samsung decides to introduce ChatGPT, this move could significantly impact Google, potentially breaking its current dominance in the mobile AI assistant market. The rumors of this collaboration have sparked widespread attention and reflect the increasingly competitive environment for AI assistants.
This isn't the first time rumors of a collaboration between Samsung and OpenAI have surfaced. In January of this year, reports indicated that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman visited South Korea and met with senior executives from Samsung and SK Hynix to discuss the possibility of jointly developing AI-specific chips. The discussions around Samsung incorporating ChatGPT further deepen the potential for collaboration between the two companies in the field of artificial intelligence.
Meanwhile, Apple is also actively advancing its collaboration with OpenAI. This year, Apple integrated ChatGPT chat experiences into Siri for the first time in the Beta version of iOS 18.2, allowing users to forward PDF, text files, or images to Siri for processing with permission. This innovation indicates that the competition among AI assistants will extend beyond language understanding to include data integration and cross-platform operational capabilities.
If Samsung and OpenAI's potential collaboration comes to fruition, it could bring new changes to the mobile AI assistant field. AI assistants are gradually becoming an important part of smart devices, and the collaborations and competition among major companies will directly determine the future development direction of the smartphone AI ecosystem.
