Lee Jae-yong, Chey Tae-won, and Hae-jin Lee to Meet Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in US for AI Summit

Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong, SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, and Naver Global Investment Officer (GIO) Hae-jin Lee are scheduled to meet with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in the United States.

The meeting aims to strengthen cooperation in memory and artificial intelligence (AI) businesses, with expectations that it will reaffirm the solid growth momentum of the AI market.

According to industry sources, a roundtable meeting involving leaders from Samsung, SK, Naver, and Nvidia is being arranged near Silicon Valley in the U.S. this week.

The meeting is reportedly likely to take place on the 24th.

It is expected that Chairman Lee, Chairman Chey, Lee, and CEO Huang will attend together, with possibilities of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei also participating.

Business circles note that if the meeting takes place, it will mark virtually the first time that top corporate leaders from key sectors of the global AI market—including memory chips, GPUs, and generative AI services—gather in one place.

In particular, CEO Huang is meeting with major South Korean business leaders once again, just about a month after visiting South Korea in early June to meet extensively with figures from Samsung, SK, Hyundai Motor, LG, and Naver, underscoring his commitment to partnerships with South Korean firms.

OpenAI and Anthropic are considered the most influential players leading the generative AI market with ChatGPT and Claude, respectively.

The gathering of these core players—Samsung and SK in memory, Nvidia in AI chips such as GPUs, and Naver, OpenAI, and Anthropic in generative AI services—is seen as an effort to highlight a strategic alliance across the AI market.
