SK hynix is reviewing a plan to establish a corporation in the United States that will exclusively handle SK Group's artificial intelligence (AI) investment function. The aim is to consolidate AI investment capabilities that had been dispersed within the group into one place to increase efficiency.
According to the business community on the 27th, SK hynix is said to be set to convene a board meeting soon to finalize the matter. A plan is under review to add an AI investment function to SK hynix America in Silicon Valley.
Until now, SK Group has made separate investments in AI and semiconductors by affiliate, including SK Telecom and SK Square. SK Telecom invested in Perplexity and Anthropic, and SK Square invested in AI data center corporations such as SGH.
SK hynix said in a filing the same day that it is reviewing various options, including establishing a corporation for AI investments, and said it will disclose the decision upon confirmation or within one month.
