South Korean Government, AMD Hold Follow-Up Talks on AI Chip Cooperation

South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT said the South Korean government and U.S. chip giant AMD held a steering committee meeting in Seoul on Wednesday to discuss the artificial intelligence (AI) chip cooperation agreement the two sides signed earlier this year. The meeting was a follow-up to a memorandum of understanding signed in July. Under the memorandum, the two sides agreed to cooperate on establishing an AI research center and building heterogeneous computing infrastructure that can connect various types of AI chips. Meanwhile, AMD also held its "Advancing AI World Tour" technology event in Seoul, the first time the event has been held in the city. The event drew about 1,300 pre-registered attendees, and South Korean companies that have established cooperative relationships with AMD in the AI computing infrastructure field, including LG Electronics, also took part.
