Summary

Samsung Electronics has rolled out ChatGPT Enterprise and OpenAI Codex to its workforce, providing access to all employees in Korea and all Device eXperience (DX) division employees worldwide. The deployment is one of OpenAI’s largest enterprise launches and is intended to accelerate AI-driven productivity across R&D, manufacturing, software development, marketing, and corporate functions. ChatGPT is being used for knowledge work (research, drafting, data interpretation), while Codex supports coding, automation, internal tools, and non-technical workflows. The enterprise offering includes data protection, user and access management, and security controls so usage aligns with Samsung’s governance and security policies.

Key Points
