Lee Jae-Yong, chairman of Samsung Electronics, and Chung Eui-Sun, chairman of Hyundai Motor Group, have been appointed as advisory members of a global artificial intelligence forum led by Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA.
According to U.S. digital media outlet Semafor on July 23, the two leaders have been nominated to the advisory board of the Global CEO Forum 'Silicon Valley & the World,' which will take place in Silicon Valley this November.
The forum aims to connect business leaders developing AI and advanced technologies with government, finance, and industry leaders who design national strategies, policies, and systems based on these technologies.
Co-chairs of the forum include Jensen Huang, Debesh Makhan of Iconic Capital, Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, Ruth Porat, President and CIO of Alphabet and Google, and Lisa Su, CEO of AMD.
The newly formed advisory board includes over 40 members, such as Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon, former British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and former U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, alongside Lee and Chung.
Earlier, Chung Eui-Sun was appointed as an advisory member for the '2026 Semafor World Economy' in Washington, D.C., this past April.
The advisory members will be divided into four groups: the 'Frontier Committee' for CEOs of advanced technology companies, the 'Capital Committee' for AI infrastructure investors and financial institutions, the 'Builder Committee' focused on companies applying AI in industrial settings, and the 'Founders Committee' for next-generation unicorn startup founders.
Meanwhile, Lee and Chung are expected to meet with CEO Huang during the AI Summit in San Francisco, scheduled for July 24-25, coinciding with President Yoon Suk Yeol's visit to the U.S.
