ChatGPT creator OpenAI and South Korea's major chat app operator Kakao said on Tuesday they plan to form a strategic partnership to develop artificial intelligence products for the Korean market. Kakao also said it will use OpenAI technology in its products.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Kakao CEO Chung Shina made the announcement at a press conference in Sydney.
When asked whether OpenAI was considering investing in and joining South Korea's artificial intelligence computing center project, Altman said the U.S. company was "actively considering" such a move.
He also said that many Korean companies will be important contributors to the U.S. Stargate data center project ecosystem, but added that he wanted to keep cooperation conversations confidential.
