The firm confirmed on Thursday that Samsung Research America’s Vice Chief Chung Eui-suk has been named the Head of its Service Intelligence Group, the team that's responsible for developing and maintaining Bixby.
Bixby Voice Review: A story of unfulfilled potential
Eui-suk has reportedly been tasked with overseeing the development of Bixby 2.0. The next-generation version of the assistant is expected to be announced at Samsung's annual Developer Conference on October 18.
