SEOUL, December 05 (AJP) - South Korea’s AI Strategy Committee said Friday that David Zapolsky, Amazon’s senior vice president for global public policy and legal affairs, has visited the committee's vice chairman, Lim Moon-young, to discuss cooperation on artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure.
During the meeting, Amazon outlined its ongoing investments in AI and cloud services in South Korea and discussed potential collaboration on the government’s “AI highway” project and building data infrastructure. The company also highlighted its commitment to supporting local businesses with advanced computing capacity and cloud-based AI development.
The two sides also reviewed plans Amazon announced at the APEC CEO Summit in October to invest 7 trillion won ($5.3 billion) in AI data centers and cloud infrastructure between 2025 and 2031, with a focus on deepening ties with South Korea’s AI ecosystem.
“Building an AI highway is essential to fostering an innovation ecosystem,” Lim said, stressing that Amazon’s large-scale investment could help position South Korea as a global hub for AI infrastructure.
