Kim Chang-han, the CEO of KRAFTON, which created the game Battlegrounds, will meet with Sam Altman, the founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of OpenAI, which developed ChatGPT.
According to the IT industry on the 3rd, CEO Kim will meet with Altman, who is visiting South Korea on the 4th. CEO Altman visited Japan on the 3rd and will travel to South Korea before heading to India, Europe, and the Middle East. This overseas trip is said to be aimed at strengthening company competitiveness by preparing cooperation plans with global corporations as the competition from rivals such as the Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) startup DeepCik is intensifying.
KRAFTON has invested over 100 billion won in securing AI talent and research and development (R&D) of core technologies since 2021. Last year, it signed a contract with OpenAI to provide its employees with ChatGPT Enterprise, a corporate version of ChatGPT. In 2023, KRAFTON established ReLU Games, a game development company utilizing AI. It also launched the detective game "Uncover the Smoking Gun," which introduced OpenAI's large language model (LLM) GPT-4o last year.
