The South Korean government has moved to ease concerns following the resignation of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, reassuring that the company’s existing partnership commitments to Seoul remain intact. The Ministry of Science and ICT held a meeting with Nvidia officials on Friday, confirming that plans to supply graphics processing units (GPUs) and other collaborative projects will proceed as planned.
However, lingering uncertainties persist as remarks from figures like Elon Musk suggest that much of the cooperation may have relied on Huang’s personal verbal commitments. The departure of the AI giant’s longtime leader has raised questions about the stability of these agreements.
The South Korean government’s swift response aims to calm fears over the potential disruption of a major 260,000 Nvidia chip order, which is critical for the country’s tech sector. The ministry’s statement underscores the importance of maintaining strong ties with Nvidia despite the leadership change.
