What happened
On June 17, 2026, Anthropic opened its Seoul office, its third in Asia-Pacific after Tokyo and Bengaluru, and named the Korean enterprises standardizing on Claude. Samsung SDS is deploying Claude across Samsung Electronics, LG CNS is rolling it out across the LG Group, and Hanwha Solutions is bringing Claude to global employees through AWS Bedrock under strict data-residency rules. Anthropic also signed a safety and cybersecurity MOU with Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT.

The EMOR AI Take
When Samsung and LG put Claude on every desk across their groups, the platform we build client systems on is being vetted by some of the most demanding enterprises on earth, on security, data residency, and reliability. That scrutiny flows downhill: the same model hardened for a Fortune 100 rollout is the one answering calls and booking jobs for the small businesses we serve.
Strict Korean data-residency rules are not just an enterprise concern, they set a baseline every small business should expect from its AI vendor too. Ask where your customer call and booking data lives and who can read it, because the same controls Samsung demanded are now available to the businesses we serve. We run client systems on infrastructure built to clear that bar from day one.
What this means for your business
- Hold your AI vendor to enterprise security and residency standards
- Run customer systems on infrastructure trusted by demanding buyers
- Ask exactly where your call data lives
