Meta to partner with Samsung to reduce reliance on TSMC 삼성과 손잡는 메타

[김우정]

전세계에 27억명이 넘는 구독자를 보유한 메타(facebbok) CEO 마크 저커버그가 한국을 방문했습니다.
지난 목요일 윤대통령을 만나서 삼성과의 AI반도체분야협력으로 TSMC의존도를 낮추겠다고 말했습니다.
대통령과 만나기 전날에는 이재용 삼성전자회장과 LG전자 경영진을 만났습니다.
이번 방문을 계기로 파운드리부문에서 삼성전자가 TSMC를 추격하는 계기가 되었으면합니다.

Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg indicated the U.S. multinational technology conglomerate's intention to work with Samsung Electronics in the artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor sector to rely less on chip giant Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC, according to the presidential office Thursday.
마크 저커버그 메타 창업자 겸 최고경영자(CEO)는 삼성전자와 인공지능(AI) 반도체 분야에서 협력해 반도체 대기업인 대만 반도체 제조회사(TSMC)에 대한 의존도를 낮추겠다는 뜻을 밝혔다고 대통령실이 밝혔다.

After a 30-minute meeting between the American tech entrepreneur and President Yoon Suk Yeol in Seoul that day, a senior official at Yoon's office told reporters that Zuckerberg recognized Samsung for its status as one of the largest foundry companies in the world.
이날 서울에서 열린 윤석열 대통령과의 30분간의 면담 후 윤 의원실 고위 관계자는 기자들에게 "저커버그는 삼성이 세계 최대 파운드리 기업 중 하나라는 지위를 인정받았다"고 말했다.

"Zuckerberg said Samsung's status can be the key point in their cooperation," the official said.
이 관계자는 "저커버그는 삼성의 위상이 협력의 핵심이 될 수 있다고 말했다"고 말했다.

The Meta CEO is also said to have mentioned his company's reliance on the Taiwanese chipmaker, describing the current situation as "volatile." The operator of Facebook and Instagram had asked TSMC to manufacture two types of AI chips, which were designed by the U.S. firm and unveiled last May.
메타 CEO는 또한 현재상황을 "변동성이 있다"고 설명하면서 대만 칩 제조업체에 대한 자신의 회사의 의존도를 언급했다고 전해진다. 페이스북과 인스타그램 운영자는 TSMC에 두 종류의 AI 칩을 제조하도록 요청하였는데, 이 칩은 미국회사가 설계하고 지난 5월 공개하였다.

"His remarks mean that Samsung's status can help in stabilizing Meta's heavy reliance on TSMC under the current geopolitical situation," the official said.
이 관계자는 "그의 발언은 현재 지정학적 상황에서 삼성의 위상이 메타의 TSMC에 대한 과중한 의존도를 안정화하는 데 도움이 될 수 있다는 것을 의미한다"고 말했다.

Meta's Korean operation declined to confirm‎ what its CEO said exactly to Yoon.
메타의 한국 사업부는 CEO가 윤대통령에게 한 말을 정확히 확인하기를 거부했다.

After Zuckerberg's dinner with Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong a day earlier at the Korean firm's VIP guest house in Seoul, Meta remained silent on what the two discussed during the meeting.
메타는 저커버그가 하루 전 서울 삼성전자 VIP 영빈관에서 이재용 삼성전자 회장과 만찬을 한 뒤 두 사람이 회동에서 논의한 내용에 대해서는 함구했다.

Unlike LG, which informed reporters on Wednesday that the company's executives and Zuckerberg had in-depth discussions centered on technological cooperation related to extended reality, Samsung declined to comment on Lee's meeting with the Meta CEO.
LG전자가 26일 기자들과 만나 확장현실과 관련된 기술협력을 중심으로 심도 있는 논의를 했다고 밝힌 것과 달리 삼성전자는 이 회장이 메타 CEO를 만난 것에 대해 말을 아꼈다.

Industry officials speculated that their discussions revolved around semiconductor cooperation, particularly concerning the production of AI chips, which are necessary for operating Meta's next-generation large language model known as Llama 3.
업계 관계자들은 이들의 논의가 메타의 차세대 대형 언어 모델인 '라마3'를 구동하는 데 필요한 반도체 협력, 특히 AI 칩 생산과 관련된 것으로 추측했다.

The presidential office said that Yoon told Zuckerberg about the government's support for Samsung's investments in the construction of the world's largest semiconductor cluster near Seoul.
대통령실은 윤대통령이 저커버그에게 세계 최대 반도체 클러스터 건설에 대한 삼성의 투자에 대한 정부의 지원에 대해 말했다고 전했다.

The Meta CEO responded positively to Yoon's request to prevent the spread of fake news on social media ahead of elections in Korea and other countries, the presidential office added.
메타 CEO는 한국 등에서 선거를 앞두고 SNS에 가짜뉴스가 확산되는 것을 막아달라는 윤대통령의 요청에 긍정적으로 반응했다고 청와대는 덧붙였다.

Following the meeting with Yoon, Zuckerberg departed for India to attend a wedding ceremony for the son of billionaire Mukesh Ambani, the head of the oil and technology conglomerate Reliance Industries.
저커버그는 윤대통령과의 만남에 이어 석유 및 기술 대기업 릴라이언스 인더스트리의 회장인 억만장자 무케시 암바니의 아들 결혼식에 참석하기 위해 인도로 출발했다.
