SEOUL, July 23 (AJP) - Samsung Electronics chairman Lee Jae-yong and Hyundai Motor Group chairman Chung Eui-sun have joined the advisory board of a global artificial intelligence (AI) forum led by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, U.S. digital media outlet Semafor reported on Wednesday.

Along with more than 40 industry leaders including Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, Sony Group CEO Hiroki Totoki, and Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser, Lee and Chung were named to the advisory board for the inaugural "Silicon Valley & the World" forum, which will be held in Silicon Valley in November and bring together about 350 founders, CEOs, investors and policymakers from around the world.

The forum aims to connect innovators developing transformative technologies with policymakers, business leaders and investors, providing a platform to share best practices and address future opportunities and challenges.

Separately, Lee and Chung are scheduled to meet with Huang at a two-day AI summit in San Francisco this weekend.

President Lee Jae Myung is also expected to attend the gathering during the U.S. leg of his multinational tour, which begins this Friday and lasts through Aug. 3, with stops including Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Germany.
