SAN FRANCISCO — President Lee Jae Myung met with the heads of four global tech giants, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, on Friday and called for their greater participation in Korea's artificial intelligence (AI) investment plans.
The meetings took place on the first day of Lee's two-day trip to San Francisco aimed at promoting AI investment and cooperation between global tech giants and South Korea.
Lee also met separately with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic PBC CEO Dario Amodei and Broadcom CEO Hock Tan.
During the meeting, the president praised Huang as being at the forefront of a "fundamental shift" taking place around the world and introduced Korea's recently announced large-scale investment plans to build a semiconductor production cluster and AI data centers.
