◆Physical AI refers to artificial intelligence systems equipped with the ability to perceive the real world, make decisions based on that perception, and then move and manipulate objects accordingly.


This technology enables physical devices such as robots, autonomous vehicles, and factory automation equipment to perform tasks without human intervention.


NVIDIA Corp. is recognized as a global leader in the field of physical AI.


At the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit in November, Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, stated, "AI technology is now entering a 'physical AI moment,' moving beyond software to directly interact with the physical world."


NVIDIA has agreed to supply 260,000 graphics processing units (GPUs) to the South Korean government and local companies, with the majority expected to be used in the physical AI sector.


Samsung Electronics Co., South Korea's largest company by market value, SK Group, and Hyundai Motor Group have announced plans to build 'AI Factories' to enhance efficiency in semiconductor and automobile production.


President Yoon Suk Yeol also emphasized in a recent budget address to the National Assembly that the government will make focused investments to establish South Korea as a leading nation in physical AI.
