Meta's Mark Zuckerberg invited Jay Y. Lee to his home on Tuesday
and their discussions spanned AI as well as virtual and
augmented reality, Samsung said in a statement.
Lee also met with Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and Qualcomm CEO
Cristiano Amon to discuss cooperation in semiconductors,
including memory chips for Amazon's data centers and cloud
services as well as chip contract manufacturing for Qualcomm's
mobile processors, Samsung said.
The South Korean tech giant plans to hold a company-wide
strategic meeting around the end of June which will be informed
by Lee's discussions on cooperation with the three U.S. firms,
it added.
Lee is on a two-week visit to the United States.
Samsung has lost ground compared to competitors in chips,
especially high-end memory for AI, and its newly appointed head
of its semiconductor division has called on staff to pull
together to overcome a raft of challenges.
Amazon is a key Samsung client for chips and the two firms also
work together in various fields such as TV, mobile and content.
Samsung's high-end smartphones use Qualcomm's Snapdragon mobile
processors, and the companies have recently expanded their
partnership to AI-enabled PCs.
Meta is also a Samsung chip client and it has worked with
Samsung on the South Korean firm's Gear VR headset and foldable
smartphones.
