The South Korean internet group Naver will develop large-scale artificial intelligence infrastructures in collaboration with Nvidia, aiming to meet the growing global demand for AI services and so-called “physical AI” applications.
According to announcements made on Monday, these facilities will be designed at the gigawatt scale, a power level that reflects the energy and computing magnitude required to train and operate advanced AI models.
The project is part of Naver’s strategy to strengthen its position in the global artificial intelligence ecosystem, while relying on Nvidia’s technologies, the world leader in graphics processors used for AI.
These “AI factories” are not traditional factories but massive data centers optimized for intensive computing. They notably enable the development of language models, industrial AI systems, and large-scale robotic applications.
This announcement comes amid intense global competition over AI infrastructures, where major tech companies seek to secure ever greater computing capacities to support the sector’s rapid growth.
