NVIDIA and KAIST Launch Joint AI Research Lab in Seoul

At an AI Summit in San Francisco this week, South Korean President Jae Myung Lee and business leaders met with NVIDIA and ecosystem partners to advance Korea's AI infrastructure. NVIDIA and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) announced a joint AI research lab at the KAIST Kim Jaechul Graduate School of AI in Seoul, dedicated to advancing agentic AI for South Korea. The lab is the first joint AI lab between a Korean university and any global technology company. The collaboration will combine NVIDIA full-stack AI expertise, NVIDIA Nemotron open models, and NVIDIA AI Cloud partner computing with KAIST's scientific talent. The announcement builds on NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang's visit to Korea last month and follows NVIDIA's June announcement of an expanded collaboration with SK Group to codevelop memory for NVIDIA platforms spanning AI infrastructure, personal AI, and physical AI.
