Samsung Electronics has said it will prioritise governance, protect privacy and secure its services to ensure that artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a 'true companion' of users. The South Korean consumer electronics giant's announcement comes amid a raging debate about consumers' security and privacy in the rapidly evolving AI era.

Additionally, the company emphasised that trust will grow when AI behaves predictably and securely across devices. Samsung's Shin Baik, the head of its AI Platform Center (APC), highlighted Samsung's open collaboration with industry leaders, such as Google and Microsoft, as a way to strengthen shared security research, interoperabilit
