The AI Action Summit is a gathering where heads of state from major countries and companies representing AI come together to discuss ways to responsibly develop and utilize AI technology. About 1,000 people including heads of state, senior government officials, CEOs, academic representatives, and civil society stakeholders participate. The first summit was held in London, UK in November 2023, and last May it was held in Seoul.

This summit will be attended by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who serves as co-chair, at the level of head of state/government. U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance is also reported to attend. Among key industry figures, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, who recently visited Korea, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, and Arthur Mensch, co-founder of the French AI startup Mistral AI, will participate.

From Korea, Minister Yoo Sang-im of the Ministry of Science and ICT will participate in this meeting. Among domestic IT companies, Samsung Electronics and LG AI Research, as well as Naver, are reported to have been invited.

At this summit, participants will discuss five major areas: ▲ Innovation and culture ▲ The future of jobs ▲ Building trust in AI ▲ Utilizing AI for public good ▲ Establishing global AI governance.

Naver has attended every summit since the third one. At the first summit in 2023, Ha Jung-woo, head of the AI Innovation Center, attended, and at last year’s summit held in Seoul, Lee Hae-jin, Naver’s founder and Global Investment Officer (GIO), was present.
