BILL GATES IS GOING TO VISIT KOREA TO DISCUSS AI COOPERATION AS EARLY AS NEXT MONTH

On 29 July, the Korean Federation reported that Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft and President of the Gates Foundation, was moving forward with plans to visit Korea as soon as next month and to coordinate a meeting with Korean State Prime Minister Han Sung-sook, with dates and talks yet to be determined. In August last year, Gates visited Korea and met successively with the heads of major enterprises such as Choi Tae-jin (SK Group), HD Modern and Lee in Tristar Electronics to discuss cooperation in the fields of AI, biotechnology and the next generation of nuclear power. The above-mentioned issues are expected to remain at the centre of the agenda should the visit take place. Gates, who is also the founder and chairman of the board of directors of the next generation of nuclear power companies TerraPower, is developing a small modular reactor (SMR) based on a smelting salt energy system, which has received wide industry interest in regulating output power and high safety。
