Samsung Electronics co-CEO dies of heart attack at 63

Quick Summary:

Han Jong-Hee, a company veteran who began his career in the displays division more than three decades ago, was instrumental in displacing Japanese rivals such as Sony.

Most recently, Han took charge of efforts to integrate AI into most of Samsung’s products in anticipation of a boom in artificial intelligence features for everyday use.

He said Samsung wants to better connect the half-billion devices it sells each year to help make up for missteps that have cost it the lead against big tech rivals in areas such as top-end memory and generative AI.
