LG Uplus' chief executive officer, Hwang Hyeon Sik, recently visited Silicon Valley in the U.S. for special talent recruitment. The CEO hosted an event at the Four Seasons Hotel to attract young talent for LG Uplus's artificial intelligence (AI) ambitions.

"LG Uplus has a dream to become a digital innovation platform company that leads changes in customer life," Korea's Maeil Business News quoted the CEO as saying during the summit last weekend. "We believe the most important thing is AI technology that will make customer experience a reality, and above all, people who can make that technology bloom to realize this goal."

Finally, after sharing LG Uplus' business vision centered on AI, Hwang told the audience, "Let us create a future where AI permeates customers' daily lives together with the dreams of you and LG U+."
