Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met with SK’s senior executives at a fried chicken restaurant in Seoul, Sunday evening, for what industry watchers expect to be a wide-ranging discussion on their deepening artificial intelligence (AI) cooperation.
Led by SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, key executives from the group’s cash-cow affiliates attended the symbolic gathering with the head of the world’s most valuable company at a Kkanbu Chicken restaurant — the same venue where Huang dined with Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong and Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Chung Euisun last October.
Alongside Chey, SK hynix CEO Kwak Noh-jung and SK Telecom CEO Jung Jai-hun also attended the casual dinner with Huang, which was reportedly arranged at the Nvidia chief's request.
They discussed a wide range of AI partnerships in areas such as high-bandwidth memory (HBM), AI semiconductors, data center infrastructures and physical AI.
