三星要发力人工智能 -

北京时间3月24日晚间消息，彭博社今日发表文章称，由于智能手机业务停滞不前，三星电子正“积极寻求”收购人工智能(AI)和其他软件开发公司。
当前，三星拥有610亿美元的现金和现金等价物。公司执行副总裁李仁钟(Rhee In Jong)日前在接受采访时称，三星希望发展成为一家软件驱动型公司。此外，三星还在斥资研发自己的服务，因为全球手机市场趋于饱和，不能再指望手机业务带来显著营收增长。
李仁钟说：“我们正在软件领域积极寻找各种并购目标。我们对所有可能持开放态度，包括人工智能。人工智能已不再是可选业务，我们必须要拥有。”
由于iPhone主导着高端智能手机市场，华为和小米等又占领了低端市场，2015年三星智能手机出货量连续第二年下滑，公司营收和净利润也连续2年下降，致使公司股价自2012年底以来下滑了16%。
三星CEO权五铉(Kwon Oh-hyun)之前在致股东的一封公开信中称，2016年的形势依然严峻。由于供大于求，智能手机、电视机和内存芯片的价格都在下滑。
首尔Dongbu证券公司分析师柳义炯(Yoo Eui Hyung)认为：“手中持有如此多的现金，三星投入更多资金发展软件业务是明智之举。这同时也能推动硬件产品销量增长。”柳义炯称，三星的核心硬件业务，包括芯片和手机等，将来有可能被中国品牌超越。
李仁钟认为，在智能手机中融入人工智能技术有助于提高用户忠诚度，因为用户需要花一些时间来培训人工智能软件，让它了解自己的喜好。为此，三星已经对人工智能初创企业Vicarious进行不低于2000万美元的投资。
李仁钟说：“人工智能能让我们在使用智能手机时变得更简单。用户在培训手机的同时，也让我们获得了用户忠诚度。”
李仁钟还称，三星过去曾认为软件只是用来辅助硬件的，但如今已经改变这种认识。三星要扭转这种关系，利用新的软件驱动硬件开发。如果三星能将软件和硬件结合起来，就能从用户那里获取更多营收。
为加速转型，三星已任命移动通信研发部门主管高东进(Koh Dong Jin)为手机部门新总裁，他曾帮助开发三星移动支付和软件安全平台。
李仁说最后说：“我们要让软件驱动和引导业务，而不再是硬件的辅助。我们不只是在寻找特定的投资技术或领域，而是要真正进入该市场，如人工智能。”
