Altman, who ushered in a revolutionary artificial intelligence (AI)-driven era, was initially scheduled to arrive in Seoul over the weekend for a two-day trip to give a lecture at the country's chip giant Samsung Electronics and other engagements including meetings with major IT companies including Naver and Kakao to discuss AI-related cooperation.
OpenAI simply said the cancellation was due to "personal reasons," without providing further details on why he canceled or any revised schedule for his visit in the future.
But it said South Korea is a "very important country and strategic partner" for OpenAI, and that cooperation with partners will continue as planned.
