The site will become SK Network's AI base outside of South Korea. The Korea Times reported that the facility's launch was attended by Choi Sung Hwan, the company's president, and researchers at PhnyX Lab, the hub's official name.
Experts to Lead the AI Facility
SK Networks announced on Wednesday this week that four artificial intelligence experts from Stanford University have joined the AI Lab to help the company provide AI-related services.
Through the facility, SK Network and its affiliates will collaborate to develop AI technologies and offer services to clients. The company hopes this will also expand its capabilities in the artificial intelligence industry.

"PhnyX Lab is an innovation hub with world-class competitiveness that will not only conduct future research on leading AI technology but also create actual business utilization plans such as business model development," Choi Sung Hwan said. "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.
