South Korean memory chip giant SK Hynix plans to establish a dedicated artificial intelligence investment department in the United States to unify the management of SK Group's dispersed AI-related investments.
On Tuesday local time, Bloomberg cited South Korea's &#34;Daily Economic News&#34; reporting that this move aims to accelerate investment decision-making speed and enhance professional capabilities. The new department is expected to take over approximately 10 trillion Korean won of overseas AI-related investment assets from the group.
The new company will gradually take over the overseas AI-related investment assets currently held by SK Group's affiliated companies. The first assets to be included are expected to be shares in the U.S. small modular reactor company TerraPower held by SK Holdings and SK Innovation.

According to reports, the core goal of SK Hynix's establishment of a new department in the U.S. is to integrate the artificial intelligence investments previously made separately by the group's affiliated companies. Insiders revealed that this adjustment aims to accelerate decision-making speed and enhance investment expertise.
The new company is expected to gradually take over approximately 10 trillion Korean won of overseas AI-related investment assets currently held by SK Group's affiliated companies. This integration initiative will enable the group to manage its AI investment portfolio more uniformly, avoiding resource dispersion and duplicate investments.
The first assets expected to be included under the management of the new department are shares in the U.S. small modular reactor company TerraPower held by SK Holdings and SK Innovation. This indicates that SK Group is expanding the scope of AI investments to include energy sectors that support AI infrastructure, reflecting the importance of energy supply behind the demand for AI computing power. SK Hynix will soon hold a board meeting to discuss the agenda for establishing the new investment department.
In response to related reports, SK Hynix stated that it is considering various options, including the establishment of an artificial intelligence investment department. This statement shows the company's open attitude towards the integration of AI investments, but specific plans have not yet been finalized.
As a global leader in memory chip manufacturing, SK Hynix occupies an important position in the AI chip field, with its high bandwidth memory (HBM) products being key components of AI servers. Establishing a dedicated AI investment department will help the company make more systematic arrangements along the upstream and downstream of the industry chain
