OpenAI Korea set to launch next month

The Seoul branch of U.S. artificial intelligence (AI) company OpenAI is set to open next month, industry sources said Thursday, as part of the company's push for the Korean market. OpenAI Korea will hold a press conference Sept. 10, which is expected to serve as its official launch event, according to the sources. At the event, Jason Kwon, chief strategy officer (CSO) at OpenAI, is scheduled to present the company's vision and strategies for Korea. He is also expected to introduce the head of OpenAI Korea, a position that is reportedly still in the hiring process. Since announcing its plan to establish a Seoul office in May, OpenAI Korea has been actively recruiting for its local team. The Korean office is part of OpenAI's global expansion, as the operator of the AI chatbot ChatGPT has launched 11 new offices in major cities, including Paris, Brussels, Singapore, London, Dublin and Tokyo, in recent years. Korea has become one of OpenAI's fastest-growing markets, ranking second only to the United States in the number of paid ChatGPT subscribers.Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times
