OpenAI CEO Sam Altman will visit Korea next week for meetings with major technology companies, including Samsung Electronics, to discuss cooperation in artificial intelligence (AI), industry sources said Thursday.
During the two-day visit beginning Sunday, Altman is also expected to meet executives from portal operator Naver and mobile platform operator Kakao, they said.
First, Altman is scheduled to visit Samsung's office in Suwon, south of Seoul, on Monday, where he will deliver a lecture on the transformative impact of AI technologies and strategies for AI-driven workplace innovation, they said.
The visit comes as the Korean technology giant recently announced plans to fundamentally overhaul its work processes and corporate culture by fully incorporating AI across its operations.
