Gangnam District Mayor Kim Hyeon-ki has committed to attracting an AI research center from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), emphasizing the area's educational and residential advantages. AMD plans to establish an AI Center of Excellence in Korea by the end of the year, hiring hundreds of researchers to enhance its global AI software development and collaboration with local institutions.
This initiative is significant as it positions Gangnam as a growing hub for AI and robotics, bolstered by existing infrastructure and educational facilities. The district's development around Suseo Station aims to create a vibrant ecosystem for researchers and startups, further supported by the Seoul Metropolitan Government's plans for a robotics venture town and the Seoul Robot Tech Center, set to be completed by 2030.
Looking ahead, the successful establishment of AMD's center could attract additional tech investments and talent to the region. The area is already home to the Robot Plus Test Field and is set to benefit from improved transportation links, making it an attractive location for both local and international AI initiatives. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
