SK Group Chairman Tae-won Choi said Wednesday that he will expand the group's partnership with Nvidia from a memory-centered relationship to the entire artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure.

Speaking at a press briefing held with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at the SK Seorin Building in Jongno-gu, Seoul, Choi was asked about the role of SK Telecom (017670) in the collaboration with Nvidia. "Much of the cooperation so far has indeed been with hynix on memory, but from now on we plan to raise the level of cooperation and draw a bigger picture at the group level," he said. "In the future we will build AI factories with Nvidia, and this is a concept that encompasses everything, including SK hynix (000660) and data centers."

He added, "We plan to share our R&D roadmap with Nvidia," explaining, "We will create the same roadmap and cooperate so that we can adapt more quickly to AI demand in the future."
