AMD will build an artificial intelligence research center in South Korea and create an open AI infrastructure ecosystem. According to Jin10, South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT said it signed an AI chip ecosystem cooperation memorandum of understanding with AMD in San Francisco on the 23rd. AMD plans to set up an AI excellence center in South Korea to support technical cooperation among South Korean companies, universities, and research institutions, AI chip software development, computing technology verification, and joint research. It will also promote cooperation with South Korean local AI chip companies. The memorandum also includes building heterogeneous AI computing infrastructure that connects AMD's CPUs and GPUs with AI chips (NPUs) that South Korean companies have strengths in for inference. The two sides also plan to build an open AI computing ecosystem, encourage joint participation by South Korean companies, and cover memory, networking, servers, and software.
