SK Group to outline AI ecosystem blueprint on margins of APEC summit

SEOUL, Sept. 28 (Yonhap) -- SK Group, a South Korean chip-to-defense conglomerate, said Sunday it will present its vision for artificial intelligence (AI) development on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, as part of efforts to expand the global AI ecosystem.

SK will host the Future Tech Forum AI at Gyeongju Expo Grand Park in the southeastern city of Gyeongju, bringing together government officials and top executives from global tech leaders, including U.S. AI chipmaker Nvidia and OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, the group said in a press release.

The forum, set for Oct. 28-31, is an official side event of the APEC CEO Summit, which runs alongside the APEC summit.

In a keynote speech on Oct. 28, SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won will propose strategies to build sustainable AI ecosystems across Asia-Pacific countries, the statement said.

On the same day, SK Group will also unveil its AI data center solutions, integrating technologies from its key affiliates, such as SK hynix Inc., SK Telecom Co. and SK Enmove Co.

This year, SK Group has ramped up efforts to establish its own AI ecosystem, spanning semiconductors, energy and its A.Dot AI service.

The APEC summit will take place in Gyeongju from Oct. 31 to Nov. 1, with U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping expected to attend.
