Samsung SDS is building its first AI-focused data center in Gumi, South Korea, investing $15 million to meet the surging global demand for AI computing power. This strategic move follows a 35% revenue jump in its cloud services division and aligns with industry predictions of a 40.5% CAGR in AI data center capacity by 2027. The new CEO, Lee June-Hee, will lead this expansion, leveraging partnerships such as the one with Microsoft Azure.
