Samsung Electronics is partnering with Google to introduce the Galaxy Watch, which allows the installation of various third-party apps, and is embarking on a full-scale effort to implement user-friendly services on wearable devices.
Samsung Electronics held the 'Samsung Galaxy Virtual Event' at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2021, which opened on the 28th, and unveiled the 'One UI Watch,' which extends Samsung's unique user experience to the Galaxy Watch to provide a more consistent experience with smartphones.
'One UI Watch,' applied to the new integrated platform being jointly developed with Google, is scheduled to be first featured in the next-generation Galaxy Watch, which is set to be announced at the Galaxy Unpacked event in the second half of this year.
Based on the new integrated platform, 'One UI Watch' provides a completely new Galaxy Watch experience.
When a user installs a new application compatible with the Galaxy Watch on their smartphone, it is automatically downloaded to the Galaxy Watch as well.
In addition, if you change the app settings on one device, such as a smartphone or a Galaxy Watch, they are immediately reflected on the other connected device.
For example, if you change the settings of a clock app on your smartphone that displays time in various regions around the world, they are applied to the Galaxy Watch, and if you block calls or messages on the Galaxy Watch, they are also blocked on the smartphone without any separate settings.It will be done.
It also provides new features through support for various third-party apps available for download on Google Play.
It supports Adidas Running, GOLFBUDDY Smart Caddie, Strava, and Swim.com for sports and fitness enthusiasts, Calm and Sleep Cycle for those seeking a balanced lifestyle, Spotify and YouTube Music for music lovers, and Google Maps for those who enjoy traveling.
“Samsung Electronics aims to realize the infinite potential of wearable devices based on its long-standing expertise in mobile innovation and diverse partnerships built on an open ecosystem,” said Patrick Chomet, Vice President and Head of CX at Samsung Electronics’ Mobile Business. “Through these efforts, we will further enrich the smartwatch experience and the convenience of the Galaxy ecosystem.”
Sameer Samat, Vice President of Google’s Android and Wear Product Management, said, “Samsung and Google have collaborated for a long time to continuously improve the consumer experience. The new integrated platform, which will be introduced for the first time with the next-generation Galaxy Watch, is also a result of this collaboration, and we are pleased to provide a completely new watch experience with extended battery life, faster performance, and support for various apps.”
In addition, Samsung Electronics announced that it plans to provide an improved 'Watch face Design tool' at this MWC. Starting in the second half of this year, Android developers will be able to more creatively and easily create various customized watch faces based on users' moods, activities, and personalities.

The Problem with AI is Not Performance, but Trust
CEO Kang Min-seung emphasized at Snowflake's World Tour Seoul that generative AI has entered a phase where "trust" rather than accuracy becomes the key competitive advantage. As AI is applied to various tasks including consultation, risk management, and operational automation, incorrect data, erroneous responses, and bias are creating actual business risks. He pointed out that enterprises must build a trust layer above AI. To achieve this, accurate data management, semantic structuring, governance, and prompt security are essential. He explained that AI is not merely an automation tool but a technology that reorganizes the entire organization's workflows and decision-making systems. Snowflake provides a platform that supports this trust-based AI operation, emphasizing that enterprises should build "trustworthy AI" rather than "intelligent AI."

The Decisive Factor for AI Agents in Finance: "Trustworthy Data Infrastructure"
The key to spreading AI agents in the financial sector is establishing a trustworthy data system. KB Kookmin Bank is operating over 100 AI agents by 2025 and is promoting expansion to 300. AI is automating repetitive tasks across various areas such as consultation, risk management, wealth management, and relationship management. However, if data quality, governance, and semantic structuring are insufficient, errors and risks increase. KB is building an AI-Ready organization through a multi-model strategy of GPT, Gemini, and Claude, as well as a Snowflake-based data system. The bank emphasized that AI has entered a phase where it restructures not just simple automation but the entire work process and decision-making system.
