OpenAI will open an office in Seoul

OpenAI will open its first office in Seoul and has registered a legal entity in South Korea, as demand for ChatGPT in the country is rapidly growing.

South Korea's AI ecosystem is one of the most promising in the world for meaningful AI adoption, from microchips to software, from students to the elderly.

Earlier this year, OpenAI announced that it would develop AI-based products for South Korea in collaboration with Kakao, the operator of the KakaoTalk messaging app.
