Summary
Lee Jae Myung travels to San Francisco on Friday with the chairmen of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix for talks with global tech leaders on AI investment.
The trip is aimed at converting the global AI boom into broader gains for South Korea, where rising semiconductor profits have not translated into meaningful job growth.
Lee's administration is also planning a permanent fund to share gains from the AI boom more widely, linking chip-sector windfalls to domestic economic benefits.
