Naver is expanding its connections with global artificial intelligence (AI) companies, including OpenAI and Anthropic. Following a recent collaboration with NVIDIA on AI infrastructure, Naver is set to meet with key figures from OpenAI and Anthropic. This highlights Naver's growing prominence in the global AI landscape.
According to the IT industry on June 11, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman will meet with Naver CEO Choi Soo-yeon on June 15 at Naver's 1784 building in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province. The meeting aims to explore potential collaboration between the two companies. Naver Chairman Lee Hae-jin and other relevant Naver officials are also expected to attend. Altman's visit to South Korea is scheduled for June 14-15.
On June 16, a meeting is also planned between Anthropic representatives and Naver's technical staff. Caitlin Lee, Anthropic's head of platform engineering, and Angela Zhang, head of product, will meet with Naver developers at the 1784 building to share insights on AI agent technology and its applications. This collaboration could lead to further technological partnerships, similar to those with OpenAI.
Previously, on June 8, Chairman Lee and CEO Choi met with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang to discuss cooperation in AI infrastructure, including AI factories. With connections to both OpenAI and Anthropic, Naver is broadening its collaborative efforts with major global tech firms within the domestic AI ecosystem.
Anthropic is also expanding its presence in the South Korean market. Led by its local representative Choi Gi-young, the company is preparing to open an office in Seoul to establish a foundation for its operations in the country. Recently, the South Korean government and businesses participated in its security-focused AI model, Claude Mythos, through a collaboration program called Project Glasswing.
A Naver representative stated, "With Sam Altman's visit, we plan to explore collaboration opportunities between Naver and OpenAI."
