Nvidia's Jensen Huang has Korean BBQ with SK, Naver and LG chiefs

Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang arrived in Seoul on Friday for a packed schedule of meetings with tech leaders, promising "some surprises" for South Korea while predicting robotics will be the country's next major growth sector.

The visit comes about seven months after Huang's last trip to South Korea, when he pledged to supply the government and major firms including Samsung Electronics, SK Group and Naver with around 260,000 advanced chips for physical and argentic artificial intelligence.

Huang said robotics would be the "next major sector here in South Korea", and that the country is "extraordinary at manufacturing, mechatronics, and also artificial intelligence".
