U.S. chip manufacturer AMD revealed plans to establish an artificial intelligence (AI) research center in South Korea later this year, as part of expanded AI collaboration between the company and the nation. This announcement came during a meeting in Seoul between AMD CEO Lisa Su and Second Vice Minister of Science and ICT Ryu Je-myung.
In addition to creating the AI research center, AMD aims to assist in developing graduate-level AI talent and foster a reference model for heterogeneous AI computing. This model would integrate AMD's CPUs and GPUs with domestically designed neural processing units (NPUs). The discussion on AI cooperation was a follow-up to agreements made at President Lee Jae Myung's AI Summit in San Francisco in July.
Beyond the research center, AMD intends to work with Korea's private sector to generate new business prospects. At a subsequent roundtable meeting with 13 Korean companies involved in AI infrastructure, further details were discussed.
