"In the future, we will strengthen our support so that we can establish a strong presence in the United States through Phoenix Lab and at the same time play a role in promoting the development of AI for various companies."
Finally, SK Network aims to triple its operating revenues in two years by combining AI with its leading subsidiaries, such as SK Magic, En-core, and its Walkerhill hotel chain.
