Samsung Electro-Mechanics eyes growth opportunities amid AI boom

Samsung Electro-Mechanics, the electronic components unit of Samsung Electronics, is optimistic about future growth prospects amid the ongoing artificial intelligence (AI) boom. Speaking at a ceremony commemorating the company's 53rd anniversary, CEO Chang Duck-hyun emphasized the vast potential for expansion in the AI industry, which is still in its early stages despite concerns regarding long-term profitability.
