OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has postponed his planned visit to South Korea, originally scheduled for June 14-15, due to personal reasons. During the visit, he was expected to meet with leaders from major companies including Samsung Electronics, Kakao, and NAVER. In a separate announcement, Waymo, the autonomous driving subsidiary of Alphabet, revealed a new $30 monthly membership plan called Waymo Premier, aimed at invited users. This plan will offer benefits such as priority rides, a 10% cashback on trips, and the ability to cancel rides up to five times a month at no cost. Initial invitations will be sent to eligible passengers in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix, with plans to expand to other cities. Meanwhile, SK Hynix is exploring the integration of AI technologies, including ChatGPT, into its operations. CEO Lee Seok-hee indicated that the company is balancing the protection of industrial technology with the adoption of external AI services, considering tools like Microsoft 365 and CoPilot. In financial news, major Wall Street banks have begun restricting hedge funds' leverage on Asian chip stocks, including SK Hynix and Samsung, due to concerns over potential market corrections. This move involves raising financing costs for hedge fund bets and limiting new transactions. Additionally, Google announced a $50 million investment to train U.S. tech workers, addressing the growing demand for AI infrastructure. This investment is part of a broader initiative that has already seen over $1 billion allocated to training programs since 2022. Lastly, SK Hynix reported that a fire at its Cheongju plant on June 12 has been brought under control, with production equipment operating normally.
