KARACHI: Pioneering health tech firm, Boston Health AI, announced the launch of Hami, the world’s first AI-powered physician assistant, designed to optimise physician efficiency and enable personalised, evidence-driven and compassionate patient care at scale. Based on human-cantered design and intelligent automation, Hami is currently in active deployment across multiple hospitals in Pakistan and will expand globally over the coming year. Built on the belief that expert-level healthcare should be available to everyone, everywhere, without any time constraint, Boston Health AI’s Hami is designed as a physician-first tool - combining real-world clinical insight with cutting-edge artificial intelligence to support doctors in delivering high-quality, equitable care. By reducing administrative burdens and enabling more informed decisions, Hami helps physicians focus on what matters most: their patients. “Healthcare should not depend on geography or income. With Hami, we’re using the power of AI to break barriers and support physicians in delivering expert level care to every patient, whether they’re in Boston or Badin. It’s a re-imagining of what accessible, intelligent and physician-empowered healthcare can look like at scale.” said Dr Adil Haider, Founder of Boston Health AI, and former Dean of the Aga Khan University Medical College. “Hami is an interactive, patient facing AI powered physician assistant, built with proprietary models and fully compliant with global privacy and security standards. It bridges the gap between physicians and patients, streamlining medical intake, analysing clinical data and generating structured, evidence-based recommendations for physicians. It reduces administrative burden, enhances physician efficiency and supports high-quality consultations. Through Hami, we aim to reach and improve the lives of 1 billion patients worldwide.” Healthcare systems across the world are under growing strain, driven by workforce shortages, rising costs, fragmented access and outdated infrastructure. The World Health Organisation projects a global shortfall of 11 million healthcare professionals by 2030; a gap that will hit low-resource settings the hardest. In Pakistan alone, over 87 million people lack access to essential care. Patients in these environments often face long wait times and rushed consultations, severely limiting the quality and continuity of care. In response, Boston Health AI was established to help address these challenges, leveraging technology to close critical gaps in care. Boston Health AI is led by global award-winning trauma surgeon and health equity leader Dr Adil Haider, in collaboration with US-based AI-focused venture studio, C10 Labs and Systems Limited, a global systems integrator specializing in AI-driven transformation and consulting services. “At Systems Limited, we believe technology can play a powerful role in improving healthcare,” said Asif Peer, Group CEO and Managing Director of Systems Limited, and co-founder and tech partner at Boston Health AI. “Our teams worked closely with Boston Health AI to build a secure, adaptable, and scalable platform for Hami. By combining clinical insight with robust engineering, we’ve developed a solution that can improve how care is delivered, while also creating space for meaningful innovation in other sectors.” Copyright Business Recorder, 2025

IN an era defined by rapid technological advancement and digital convergence, nations that embrace digital transformation are poised for economic resilience, inclusive growth, and global competitiveness. With its vibrant, youthful population, expanding internet access, and evolving digital infrastructure, Pakistan stands at a pivotal crossroads. The country has a unique opportunity to transform into a dynamic digital economy that empowers its citizens, modernises governance, and dramatically boosts productivity across all sectors. Recent discussions at the Pakistan Banking Summit highlighted a growing consensus: Pakistan’s digital transformation must evolve beyond disparate initiatives and coalesce into a unified, strategic direction. While Pakistan has already undertaken several digital initiatives — the expansion of digital payment systems, e-governance platforms, e-commerce promotion, and digital identity services — these efforts, though indicative of a growing recognition of the digital future, remain fragmented. To avoid inefficiencies, duplication, and missed opportunities, these initiatives must be unified under a comprehensive National Digital Policy. Digital transformation is now as fundamental to economic prosperity as traditional monetary and fiscal policies. Such a strategic digital policy complements traditional economic strategies by facilitating digital consumption, fostering financial inclusion, catalysing innovation, expanding the real economy, and encouraging the emergence of new businesses, etc. The Digital Pakistan initiative already acknowledges this multifaceted transformation, aiming not merely for technology deployment but for the creation of an ecosystem where innovation flourishes, access is equitable, and institutions deliver citizen-centric services effectively. Crucially, the policy also integrates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles to ensure sustainable and inclusive digital growth. Pakistan’s financial sector should be supported and encouraged to play a leading role in its transition to a digital financial system and digital economy. By harnessing its human capital, investing in foundational digital infrastructure, and championing inclusive innovation, the country can emerge as an influential participant in the global digital landscape Institutions like the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) already provide frameworks for digital identity management. However, significant weaknesses persist, including digital literacy gaps, uneven internet access in rural areas, limited digital infrastructure, and poor interoperability among platforms. Yet, opportunities abound. Fintech, in particular, offers promising avenues for greater financial inclusion. Still, threats loom, such as cybersecurity breaches, data privacy issues, and a widening digital divide, which demand inclusively designed policies. The shift to a digital economy necessitates the establishment of foundational digital infrastructure and capabilities. This includes robust digital identity systems, effective data governance, seamless digital payments, and efficient data exchange mechanisms. A secure, universal digital identity system, building on Nadra’s existing framework, is critical for broad service access and participation in digital commerce. Reliable consent mechanisms must empower citizens to control their data usage, thereby building essential trust in digital interactions. Interoperable, real-time digital payment systems are also essential for fostering e-commerce, reducing cash dependency, and lowering transaction costs. Pakistan’s digital policy must be comprehensive, addressing the diverse needs of households, businesses, financial institutions, and government entities. Key policy objectives should include digitising the financial system to enhance transparency and credit access, especially for small and medium enterprises and unbanked populations. Launching nationwide digital literacy campaigns is crucial; without these, technological progress will remain inaccessible to many. Several sectors stand to gain significantly from digital transformation. In e-commerce, simplifying business registration, integrating payment systems, and enforcing consumer protection can dramatically boost online trade. In healthcare, for instance, telemedicine, digital health records, and artificial intelligence-assisted diagnostics can extend quality healthcare to underserved regions. Agriculture is another lucrative area that can leverage real-time weather updates, efficient market price discovery, and advisory services delivered via mobile platforms. And let’s not forget education; systemic disparities can be addressed by utilising information and communication technology-based solutions for e-learning and teacher training. Even governance can take advantage of the improved efficiency offered by similar solutions that can help reduce corruption, lower public sector expenses, and deliver services transparently and responsively. That said, transitioning from vision to execution is easier said than done. The effort requires digitising existing governmental and institutional processes, fostering innovation-driven growth, and cultivating strong digital leadership and agile governance. Digital diplomacy will also be vital, as engaging with global technology forums can attract investment, shape international standards, and facilitate knowledge exchange. Generally, a balanced approach combining demand-side incentives (like consumer subsidies and awareness campaigns) with supply-side reforms (such as infrastructure investment and regulatory modernisation) is essential. Moreover, several other significant challenges remain. Many of Pakistan’s current digital initiatives are fragmented across ministries, provinces, and institutions, leading to inefficiencies due to inconsistent policies, technical standards, and implementation frameworks. To address this, a centralised, coordinated digital policy, supported by a high-level institutional body, like the National Digital Commission and related bodies, is critical. This policy must offer a unified vision, a clear roadmap, measurable performance indicators, and effective accountability mechanisms. It must also align digital strategies with broader macroeconomic planning and integrate ESG goals throughout implementation. Ultimately, Pakistan’s transition to a digital economy is more than just technological advancement; it signifies a profound social, governance, and economic transformation. This shift aims to create a more inclusive, efficient, and future-ready nation, which necessitates coordinated efforts across all sectors, proactive policy implementation, and active collaboration among government, the private sector, and civil society. By harnessing its incredible human capital, investing in foundational digital infrastructure, and championing inclusive innovation, Pakistan can emerge as a dynamic and influential participant in the global digital landscape.

A recent study by researchers at Microsoft examined how artificial intelligence is being used in real work conversations. By analyzing 200,000 anonymized chats between people and Microsoft Copilot, the team created a detailed picture of where generative AI fits into modern work, and where it does not. They tracked how often users asked AI for help with work tasks, how well AI completed those tasks, and how broadly those tasks applied to each job. Using that data, they created a numerical score for over 900 jobs. A high score meant AI was frequently used for important parts of the job and performed those tasks well. A low score meant little to no overlap. The results showed a sharp divide. Some occupations matched closely with the way people already use AI. Others showed almost no connection. This report focuses on both sides by listing the 40 most and least AI-compatible jobs based on actual user behavior. Where AI Works Well The top scoring roles mostly involve language, information, or communication. These are jobs that depend on gathering details, answering questions, drafting content, or presenting knowledge to others. In many cases, the AI served as a digital assistant that helped users write, explain, translate, or summarize. At the top of the list were interpreters and translators. Their work involves transforming written or spoken language across contexts, and AI has already shown strength in performing these tasks quickly and accurately. Writers, editors, and proofreaders also scored high, as many people are already using AI tools to generate, revise, or polish documents. Other top-ranked roles include customer service agents, sales representatives, journalists, PR specialists, and educators. These jobs often require giving people information, preparing written materials, or guiding others through a process. These are areas where AI responses are more likely to be useful and well received. The AI was not replacing these workers. Instead, the study showed that users were using AI to assist with parts of their tasks. This distinction was key to the way the research was designed. It separated what the user was trying to achieve from what the AI actually did during the conversation. The 40 Most AI-Compatible Occupations Each of these roles scored high in three areas: the share of job tasks that overlapped with AI usage, how well AI completed those tasks, and how much of the occupation those tasks covered. Interpreters and Translators Historians Passenger Attendants Sales Representatives (Services) Writers and Authors Customer Service Representatives CNC Tool Programmers Telephone Operators Ticket Agents and Travel Clerks Broadcast Announcers and Radio DJs Brokerage Clerks Farm and Home Management Educators Telemarketers Concierges Political Scientists News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists Mathematicians Technical Writers Proofreaders and Copy Markers Hosts and Hostesses Editors Business Teachers (Postsecondary) Public Relations Specialists Demonstrators and Product Promoters Advertising Sales Agents New Accounts Clerks Statistical Assistants Counter and Rental Clerks Data Scientists Personal Financial Advisors Archivists Economics Teachers (Postsecondary) Web Developers Management Analysts Geographers Models Market Research Analysts Public Safety Telecommunicators Switchboard Operators Library Science Teachers (Postsecondary) Most of these jobs involve structured knowledge work. Some include writing technical guides, while others involve answering questions or responding to common customer issues. The overlap with AI in these jobs was not just frequent, but successful. Conversations where AI helped with these tasks often ended with a completed goal or positive user feedback. Where AI Has No Role So Far On the other end, the researchers found dozens of jobs where AI showed no real connection to the work being done. These occupations had an AI applicability score of zero. That meant no significant overlap between their daily tasks and what AI was used for in the dataset. In nearly every case, these jobs required physical skills, specialized equipment, or real-world handling. Many involved cleaning, operating machinery, preparing food, or providing in-person care. Even if AI could offer instructions, the actual task still had to be done by a person, on site, using physical tools or touch. These occupations also tended to be hands-on in a way that language models are not designed for. They required moving, lifting, installing, or interacting with the environment in ways that AI cannot simulate. Some jobs required high precision, others involved safety risks or regulatory requirements. In all cases, the study found no practical use of AI for their work. The 40 Least AI-Compatible Occupations These jobs showed no measurable overlap with AI use in the study. They had zero coverage, meaning none of their key work activities appeared in AI-assisted conversations with users. Water Treatment Plant and System Operators Pile Driver Operators Dredge Operators Bridge and Lock Tenders Foundry Mold and Coremakers Rail-Track Laying and Maintenance Equipment Operators Floor Sanders and Finishers Orderlies Motorboat Operators Logging Equipment Operators Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners Roustabouts, Oil and Gas Roofers Helpers, Roofers Tire Builders Surgical Assistants Massage Therapists Gas Compressor and Pumping Station Operators Cement Masons and Concrete Finishers Dishwashers Machine Feeders and Offbearers Packaging and Filling Machine Operators Medical Equipment Preparers Highway Maintenance Workers Helpers, Production Workers Prosthodontists Tire Repairers and Changers Ship Engineers Automotive Glass Installers and Repairers Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons Plant and System Operators (All Other) Embalmers Helpers, Painters and Plasterers Hazardous Materials Removal Workers Nursing Assistants Phlebotomists Ophthalmic Medical Technicians Floor Sanders Bridge and Lock Tenders These occupations span fields like healthcare, heavy industry, transportation, construction, and cleaning. Many involve specialized tools, patient care, or site-specific duties. For these jobs, AI was neither asked to help nor observed completing any relevant work activity. A Divide Shaped by Task Type, Not Income or Industry The researchers also examined whether salary or education level influenced AI applicability. They found only weak patterns. Some lower-wage jobs scored high, while some high-wage roles showed little AI overlap. There was a slight trend where jobs requiring a bachelor’s degree showed more applicability, but even that effect was modest. The key factor was the type of task. If the job involved writing, explaining, organizing knowledge, or communicating, it was more likely to match how AI is currently being used. If the job involved physical motion, hands-on problem-solving, or direct care, it was unlikely to match. Study Focused on Measured Use, Not Predictions This study looked only at actual use. It did not attempt to forecast future changes to job markets or make claims about automation risk. It did not track how employers use AI internally, nor did it consider how jobs might evolve over time. The scores only reflect current patterns in how people used Copilot to help with tasks that align to occupations listed in federal labor data. Still, the data offers a real-world snapshot of how AI is beginning to fit into everyday work. Some jobs already show clear patterns of use, while others remain disconnected. As AI tools grow and change, those patterns may shift. For now, the gap between roles where AI helps and those it doesn't remains wide.

A wave of competition among artificial intelligence startups is changing how much tech professionals earn, with some roles now paying well into the upper six figures. Federal disclosure documents, required for companies hiring foreign workers under the H-1B visa program, reveal how aggressively AI companies are offering high base salaries to attract skilled employees. These records show only base compensation and leave out other incentives such as stock options, signing bonuses, or performance awards, which often make total pay significantly higher. Still, the raw numbers offer a rare look into how much top startups are paying to stay ahead in the race for AI talent. OpenAI Offers Broad Salary Bands for Core Staff OpenAI, the San Francisco-based research lab behind ChatGPT, reported some of the highest base salaries across its technical and operations teams. The role of software engineer appears in several listings, with salaries ranging from $200,000 to $440,000, depending on specialization. Research-focused roles, such as research engineers and research scientists, were reported at up to $440,000. Hardware engineering roles also made the list, with pay reaching $360,000. Other technical jobs, including security engineers and intelligence investigators, were listed between $310,000 and $382,500. Non-technical positions such as program staff, finance, and community support carried base salaries between $220,000 and $270,000. In some cases, data scientists and design professionals were paid up to $385,000. These salaries do not reflect the company's broader compensation package, which includes equity and variable bonuses. Some recent listings on OpenAI’s website suggest software engineers can earn as much as $590,000 annually when all components are included. Anthropic Lists the Highest Research Engineering Compensation Anthropic, another high-profile AI startup based in the U.S., disclosed particularly high pay for its research roles. A research engineer at the company can earn between $340,000 and $690,000. Some listings for members of the technical staff also reached $405,000. The highest-paid technical staff manager received $690,000. Roles in finance and strategy were also well-compensated, typically falling between $230,000 and $285,000. Anthropic’s hiring includes other departments as well, with recruiters earning $170,000 and operations staff around $230,000. A regulatory lead position was listed at $210,000, while account executives in sales were paid about $126,000. Cohere, Glean, and Abridge Are Paying Above Traditional Tech Levels Other AI startups are competing with similar offers, even if their operations are smaller. Cohere, which builds large language models for business use, offered $240,000 to members of its technical staff. Glean, a company focused on enterprise search tools, paid software engineers between $190,000 and $260,000. Its machine learning engineering roles came with base salaries of $210,000, while software engineering managers reached $250,000. A data science team lead at Glean was listed with a base salary of $230,000. Also read: Think Your Data Stays Private? AI Tools Are Proving Otherwise Abridge, a health tech company using AI to automate clinical documentation, reported software engineers earning between $235,000 and $240,000. These are senior roles with experience requirements, placing them near the upper salary range for most health-related AI positions. Grammarly Offers Strong Compensation Across Teams Grammarly, which integrates AI into writing and grammar tools, has expanded its technical hiring with salaries that reflect the sector's competition. Machine learning software engineers earned up to $318,000, while engineers working on data infrastructure could receive $315,000. AI engineering positions were listed at $223,000. Other technical roles such as analytics engineers and platform developers were typically paid between $250,000 and $280,000. Even non-engineering roles in user research, marketing, and product design received high salaries. Product designers, for instance, were paid up to $230,000, while user researchers earned more than $221,000. Mistral AI and Safe Superintelligence Use Wide Salary Ranges Mistral AI, based in Europe but hiring in the U.S., listed salary bands for AI scientists between $280,000 and $350,000. A spokesperson later clarified that salaries in the U.S. could fall anywhere between $150,000 and $450,000. Safe Superintelligence Inc., a new company co-founded by former OpenAI researchers, showed a wide range for its technical staff as well. Listed salaries ranged from $150,000 to $500,000, which reflects a diverse hiring strategy across seniority levels. Smaller Startups Show Upward Trends in Design and Strategy Roles Anysphere, the team behind Cursor (an AI code assistant), offered $250,000 to a product designer. Synthesia, which creates AI avatars for video generation, listed a customer success manager role at $120,000. Despite being smaller firms, these companies appear to be aligning with the pay expectations set by larger AI labs. Poolside, another startup with a focus on software and AI integration, listed a performance director at $230,000. Thinking Machines Lab Matches Top-Level Compensation Thinking Machines Lab, led by Mira Murati, has entered the high-salary tier with listings of $450,000 to $500,000 for core technical roles. The company also disclosed that a co-founder and machine learning scientist earned within the same range. These figures suggest a tight alignment with compensation levels offered by longer-established AI firms. The Competitive Landscape Is Pushing Salaries Higher These figures come from mandatory government filings, which companies submit when sponsoring employees through the H-1B visa system. While they exclude other elements of compensation, they still provide a clear benchmark. Companies working in AI are consistently raising base pay to compete for a narrow slice of talent capable of building the next generation of machine learning models. From product design to platform engineering, salaries reflect a landscape where specialized knowledge continues to carry a premium. Company Role Annual Salary OpenAI Software Engineer $200K - $440K OpenAI Research Engineer $210K - $440K OpenAI Member of Technical Staff $210K - $530K OpenAI Hardware Engineer $360K OpenAI Security Engineer $310K OpenAI Finance Staff $265K OpenAI Go To Market Staff $220K - $280K Anthropic Research Engineer $340K - $690K Anthropic Member of Technical Staff $300K - $405K Anthropic Member of Technical Staff (Mgr) $690K Anthropic Finance & Strategy $230K Anthropic Recruiter $170K Cohere Member of Technical Staff $240K Glean Software Engineer $190K - $260K Glean ML Engineer $210K Glean Software Eng.

These filings are part of the H-1B visa application process, which requires employers to report salary information when seeking to hire foreign workers for specialized roles. Only base annual salaries were considered for this analysis. Supplemental compensation such as equity grants, signing bonuses, or performance-based incentives was not included, as these details are not required in the federal disclosure process. The data collection focused exclusively on AI-focused startups with private market valuations exceeding $2 billion, excluding companies that specialize in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or military-related technologies. Salary listings were drawn from the most recent filings available in 2024 and early 2025. Where multiple salary entries existed for the same job title within a company, reported figures were expressed as ranges to reflect variation by experience, location, or specialization. In cases where company representatives provided updated or clarifying salary bands, those figures were included to provide more accurate context. This approach offers a rare look into base compensation practices within leading AI startups, given that most companies in the sector do not publicly share pay structures.

AI-powered chatbots have started showing up in writing, planning, coding, and research tasks across every kind of workspace. People are using them to outline reports, summarize documents, make to-do lists, and even troubleshoot code. But what most users eventually realize is that typing a vague request into the prompt box often leads to disappointing results. The issue isn't just with the chatbot’s limitations. It’s also with the way the request is written. Chatbots, even the most advanced ones, don’t guess well. They depend entirely on the information they’re given in that moment. That’s why knowing how to write a clear, structured, and thoughtful prompt can make the difference between something useful and something you have to redo from scratch. Here’s a breakdown of how to get the most out of chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and others, without needing to memorize any technical jargon or follow rigid templates. Begin with a Clear, Simple Goal in Your Mind Before typing anything, think through what you actually want the chatbot to produce. Do you need a short summary or a full article? Are you looking for step-by-step instructions, or do you just want ideas to build from? These differences matter more than most people expect. A chatbot doesn’t know your purpose unless you explain it. Even a small clue may lead you quickly to the answers you need. It helps to take thirty seconds and sketch out your thoughts in a few quick notes. Once you know the format and the intended use of the response, you can steer the chatbot more clearly toward that goal. Explain the Task Like You’re Talking to a New Assistant Imagine explaining a task to someone who’s bright but unfamiliar with how you work. That’s roughly how you want to speak to a chatbot. They don’t have memory of past interactions (unless you’re using advanced setups), and they don’t know your personal preferences, writing tone, or goals unless you include them in your request. Also read: Trust Gaps Remain: Everyday Scenarios Where AI Chatbots Struggle to Deliver If you’re asking it to write something, tell it who the audience is. If you need data sorted or rephrased, give context for why. If you want it written in a certain style or format, say so clearly. Otherwise, the response might be technically correct but stylistically off. Use Lists to Lay Out What You Want Sometimes, long paragraphs full of instructions tend to confuse chatbots. They might miss steps or misinterpret something halfway through. To avoid that, try laying out your instructions as bullet points or a simple numbered list. That creates structure, and structure helps the AI organize its response. Think of it like handing someone a checklist instead of a paragraph. You’re not dumbing it down, you’re reducing the chance of error. Add Examples When You Can One of the most effective tools for better prompting is to include a short example of what you want. If you’re asking for a tone, a format, or a structure, giving a sample makes your expectations much clearer. This approach doesn’t require perfect examples. Even rough sketches help the chatbot latch onto patterns. That could mean showing one version of a response, a headline style you like, or even a few phrases that capture your preferred tone. You don’t have to give many, just one or two is often enough. Give the System Time to Think Things Through Sometimes users rush the system by expecting final answers right away. For more complex tasks, a better way is to ask the chatbot to reason through each part step-by-step. This means breaking things down into small phases. If you're solving a problem, planning something complex, or evaluating options, ask the chatbot to write out its thinking process first. That structure helps the AI clarify its own logic before giving a final answer. It might not sound intuitive, but this step-by-step flow often leads to better outcomes. Assign a Role to Guide the Tone and Depth If you're not happy with how a chatbot answers, try giving it a role to play. This doesn’t mean pretending, it means giving it a working perspective. Asking it to write like a teacher, financial advisor, editor, or consultant often improves the tone and structure. Roles give the chatbot an anchor to guide how it responds. If you want short, fast, clear answers, try assigning the role of a help desk agent or journalist. If you need deeper analysis, try a role like researcher or strategist. The shift can be surprisingly effective. Let It Say "I Don’t Know" When Needed Chatbots are more confident than accurate. If a question has no clear answer, the system might still generate something that sounds convincing but isn’t based on real information. That’s why it helps to give the AI permission to admit uncertainty. You can add something like, “If you’re unsure, say so,” at the end of your prompt. This helps reduce the chance of made-up answers. You can also ask it to find a source or confirm claims before including them in its final reply. If it can’t confirm something, you can ask it to leave that part out. Refining Prompts Is Normal, Don’t Expect Perfection on the First Try Even a great prompt won’t always get you the exact result you had in mind. Sometimes the wording feels off. Other times the structure isn’t quite right. That’s normal. Most people revise their prompts once or twice before the result hits the mark. You can treat your first prompt as a draft. After seeing what the chatbot returns, adjust your instructions to be clearer or more focused. This trial-and-error process doesn’t mean your prompt failed. It means you’re shaping the interaction more deliberately. As explained by Google : "Prompting is a skill we can all learn. You will likely need to try a few different approaches for your prompt if you don’t get your desired outcome." Strong Prompts Make AI Tools More Useful, Not Smarter A well-written prompt won’t make a chatbot more intelligent, but it will make the output more aligned with your needs. Think of prompting as a form of teaching. You’re showing the AI how to respond within your context. The clearer your directions, the better the results. For people who use AI tools often, whether for writing, planning, coding, or organizing, prompting becomes less about clever tricks and more about communication. And like any skill, it gets better with practice. Notes: This post was edited/created using GenAI tools. Image: DIW-Aigen. Read next: The Overlooked Flaws of ChatGPT: The Hidden Costs Behind the Hype

SEOUL: Samsung Electronics has signed a deal to supply chips to Tesla Inc, two people briefed about the matter told Reuters on Monday, in a significant boost to the South Korean tech giant’s loss-making contract manufacturing business. On Saturday, Samsung announced a $16.5 billion chip supply deal with a major global company, without naming the client. It said the customer had requested confidentiality about the details of the deal, which will run through the end of 2033. The deal comes as Samsung faces mounting pressure in the race to produce artificial intelligence chips, where it trails rivals such as TSMC and SK Hynix. This lag has weighed heavily on its profits and share price. Samsung, the world’s top memory chip maker, also makes logic chips designed by customers through its foundry business. Pak Yuak, an analyst at Kiwoom Securities, said the latest deal would help reduce losses at Samsung’s foundry business, which he estimated exceeded more than 5 trillion won ($3.63 billion) in the first half of the year. Analysts say Samsung had struggled with the defection of key clients to TSMC for advanced chips. TSMC counts Apple, Nvidia and Qualcomm among its customers. The deal with Tesla comes as South Korea is seeking U.S. partnerships in chips and shipbuilding amid last-ditch efforts to reach a trade deal to eliminate or cut potential 25% U.S. tariffs. It is not clear how the order would affect Samsung’s plan to start production at its new factory in Texas, which has been delayed as it had struggled to win major customers. Samsung is grappling to boost production yields of its latest 2-nanometer technology, and the order is unlikely to involve the cutting-edge tech, Lee Min-hee, an analyst at BNK Investment & Securities, said. Samsung has been losing market share to TSMC in contract manufacturing, underscoring technological challenges the firm faces in mastering advanced chip manufacturing to attract clients like Apple and Nvidia, analysts said.
