SK Group Chairman Choi Tae-won said, “Currently, the costs related to artificial intelligence are too high. All parties should work together to find technological breakthroughs and reduce related costs.” On the 13th local time, as a guest on the program, Choi Tae-won said, “Currently, semiconductor prices remain high, and supply cannot be fully guaranteed, putting a heavy burden on the industry. However, there is a fixed delivery cycle for expanding production capacity, and this problem cannot be completely solved in the short term.” In response to this current situation, Choi Tae-won explained the group's plan: As one of the three major national-level key projects promoted by the Korean government, SK will build an AI data center with a total scale of 15 gigawatts in stages. Choi Tae-won said, “We will focus on building a new AI data center that can generate token computing power with lower operating costs and higher efficiency. We are currently communicating and discussing this with all partners.” He also added, “When the Group initially formulated a $1 trillion investment plan, it was not anticipated that the business volume would expand to the current level, and the explosion of the artificial intelligence industry has made this layout a reality. The AI industry is very expensive, and it is necessary to support the construction of data centers of a certain size or larger.”
