OpenAI CEO Sam Altman makes unannounced visit to South Korea, deepening AI chip and data center cooperation with Samsung and SK
OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman made an unannounced visit to South Korea at the weekend, meeting about 50 Samsung executives in Yongin and reportedly having lunch with SK chairman Chey Tae-won, with SK hynix and SK Telecom executives also present. Samsung said the talks covered AI technology trends and potential business opportunities, while local reports said AI chips and data center construction were discussed, with no deal details disclosed. It matters because the visit builds on the October 2025 cooperation with Samsung and SK under the Stargate infrastructure plan, at a time when memory supply constrains AI data center expansion.
