Nvidia has announced expanded collaborations with major Korean tech companies like Samsung, Hyundai, SK, and Naver. The focus of these partnerships is on AI-powered networks and next-generation intelligent systems. The initiative aims to boost South Korea’s AI infrastructure and physical AI capabilities, with significant implications for the country’s manufacturing and telecommunications sectors.
South Korea is set to receive over 260,000 of Nvidia’s latest GPUs to address the increasing demand for AI technologies. A substantial portion of these GPUs will support public projects, including the establishment of a national AI data center and the development of domestic AI models. The remaining GPUs will be utilized by industry giants like Samsung, SK, Hyundai Motor Group, and Naver to drive innovation in AI-based manufacturing processes and industry-specific AI applications.
One of the key collaborations involves Samsung and Nvidia working together on an AI Megafactory, integrating AI across semiconductor, mobile device, and robotics manufacturing. This partnership will leverage Nvidia GPUs and the Omniverse platform to create an intelligent network for real-time production analysis and optimization.
Furthermore, Nvidia, Samsung, and Korean telecom operators are teaming up to develop AI-RAN, a project aimed at enhancing the performance and efficiency of mobile networks through AI integration.
