According to industry sources on June 4, CEO Huang will meet this week in Seoul with Byung Gyu Chang, Chairman of Krafton, Kangwook Lee, Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer (CAIO), and Taeseok Jang, Head of the Battlegrounds Intellectual Property (IP) Franchise. The specific date and location of the meeting have not been disclosed.

The meeting is expected to cover topics such as humanoid robots, including physical AI. Earlier this year, Krafton established a specialized subsidiary called Ludo Robotics to focus on the physical AI sector. In March, Krafton also agreed with Hanwha Aerospace to pursue a joint venture specializing in physical AI.

Collaboration between Nvidia and Krafton in the gaming sector is also anticipated. Nvidia recently unveiled its AI PC brand "RTX Spark." RTX Spark is equipped with the "N1 X," an integrated CPU-GPU chipset co-developed by Nvidia and MediaTek. The N1 X features a high-capacity 128GB unified memory and delivers AI computing performance of up to 1 petaflop. It can also operate an AI assistant (agent) without an internet connection.

Nvidia and Krafton have previously discussed cooperation in AI and gaming technologies. In April last year, CEO Huang and Changhan Kim, CEO of Krafton, met at Nvidia's headquarters in Santa Clara, California, to discuss game development using AI assistants and humanoid robots.

CEO Huang is expected to arrive in Korea as early as the evening of June 4. During this visit, he plans to meet with heads of major domestic conglomerates, as well as representatives from the gaming industry, AI sector, and academia.
