The Korean government has affirmed that Nvidia's existing partnerships with the country remain in place, despite the resignation of CEO Jensen Huang. However, concerns persist as statements from Elon Musk and others indicate that much of the cooperation may have been contingent on Huang's personal verbal assurances.
On Friday, a day after Huang's departure, the Ministry of Science and ICT convened a meeting with Nvidia officials to confirm that plans to supply graphics processing units (GPUs) to Korea and engage in collaborative projects remain on schedule. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Science and ICT Bae Kyung-hoon announced the news on Facebook, stating that the company pledges to supply 260,000 GPUs and maintain cooperation with Korean firms as originally announced.
The government also agreed to continue ongoing initiatives, such as connecting Korean AI chips with Nvidia's platform via NVLink, developing AI computing infrastructure, and conducting joint research projects.
