The Korean government affirmed that Nvidia's prior partnership commitments to the country remain intact despite the departure of CEO Jensen Huang. However, there are questions regarding the extent of cooperation, as indications from Elon Musk and others imply that much of the collaboration might have depended on Huang's personal verbal pledges.
The Ministry of Science and ICT convened a meeting with Nvidia officials on Friday, the day following Huang's resignation as the company's CEO, and confirmed that the plans to supply graphics processing units (GPUs) to Korea and engage in other collaborative projects are still on schedule. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Science and ICT Bae Kyung-hoon reported the meeting on Facebook, stating that the company still intends to deliver 260,000 GPUs and collaborate with Korean firms as previously announced.
The government also agreed to maintain ongoing initiatives, such as linking Korean AI chips to Nvidia's platform via NVLink, constructing AI computing infrastructure, and conducting joint research on various topics.
