"Did I bring any gifts for Korea? I brought a lot of business for Korea," he told reporters, adding: "I have some surprises."

He said Nvidia will partner with Korea's manufacturing firms in robotics and AI.

"Because Korea is a manufacturing centre of the world, we can apply the robotics technology, the physical AI technology that we invent here for the industry," he said.

"The manufacturing of semiconductors will become increasingly robotics and increasingly AI driven in the future, and so we have a great opportunity to partner with the semiconductor companies here as well."
