President Lee Jae-myung, on a tour of the United States and South America, unveiled a blueprint in San Francisco to "leap forward as an indispensable core nation in the AI ecosystem." In San Francisco, he met with CEOs including NVIDIA's Jensen Huang and OpenAI's Sam Altman. At an AI Summit attended by South Korean business leaders such as Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong, SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, and Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Euisun Chung, the "San Francisco AI Declaration" was announced. President Lee stated, "South Korea will become a global AI production base, a foundation for innovation, and leap forward as an indispensable global AI cooperation platform." A "Kkanbu meeting," previously held in Seoul with Jensen Huang and South Korean business chiefs, was recreated on a San Francisco beach, where President Lee proposed a toast. During the private dinner, President Lee stated that thanks to business leaders, South Korea's economic growth rate recorded its best performance in decades, while global CEOs suggested the need to build a uniquely South Korean AI model.
