SK Hynix chief Chey Tae-won stated that South Korea must become an "AI-native country," adding, "The goal is to ensure everyone has at least one AI agent." He remarked, "If this goal is achieved, South Korea will become a global AI testbed where various AI technologies can be experimented with and applied." Chey noted that SK Group will provide more opportunities for AI development through sustained R&D investment. Chey also emphasized the critical importance of lowering AI costs. He said, "Currently, the cost of AI is excessively high. We must reduce costs through various means so that more people around the world can benefit from AI." Chey stated that South Korea can lower AI costs by expanding memory chip production scale and building more AI data centers, thereby creating a global AI data center hub connecting the US, Europe, and Asia.
