Key quotes
We have a very significant, very large AI infrastructure buildout — already a very successful first half. Grace Blackwell, our system, is doing very well, and Vera Rubin is in full production — so we are going to be very busy the second half [of the year].
Robotics is going to be the next major sector here in Korea — this is a great opportunity for Korea to invest in AI.
