AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

AI Chip Supply Deals: President Lee Jae Myung’s San Francisco push produced a major $950B wave of AI semiconductor commitments: Samsung and Broadcom signed a $200B MoU through 2030, while SK hynix and Nvidia-led partners locked in $750B in memory supply to power AI infrastructure. Sovereign AI Infrastructure: NAVER, Brookfield and NVIDIA also announced a $10B plan to expand NAVER’s NVIDIA DSX AI factory from 55MW to 200MW at its Sejong data center, aiming to scale Korea’s “sovereign” AI compute. Tech Diplomacy: Lee met Nvidia, OpenAI and Anthropic executives and framed Korea as a hub for building and sharing AI, with government backing for the next generation of chip and data-center capacity. Justice & Politics: The minor Rebuilding Korea Party elected Rep. Shin Jang-sik as leader, signaling tougher prosecutorial reform stances, including moves to curb prosecutors’ supplementary investigative powers. UNESCO in Busan: UNESCO added the occupied West Bank site of Sebastia and five Lebanese castles to the World Heritage List, placing them on the Danger list amid Middle East conflict. Human Rights: UN human rights chief Volker Türk won a second term at the UN General Assembly despite opposition from the US, Russia and Israel.
