Kakao Plans October AI Conference to Build Support for Company Split
Kakao is set to host an AI conference in October as a platform to persuade markets and shareholders about its AI growth after fierce backlash over a proposed corporate split. The event will showcase KakaoTalk-related AI applications, with sessions led by Kakao and affiliates. The board already approved a plan dividing Kakao into Kakao AI and Kakao X, with responsibilities split across AI, advertising, commerce, techfin, content, and mobility.
