SK Group leader calls for national AI transformation, aiming for universal avatars and lower costs via semiconductor expansion and data center hubs.

Woofun AI reports that SK Group Chairman Choi Tae-won stated South Korea must evolve into an "AI-first country," with the specific objective of providing every citizen with at least one AI avatar. He indicated that achieving this would position the nation as a global AI testbed for technology experimentation and application.
