The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that Brookfield Asset Management plans to invest up to $9-billion (U.S.) in AI infrastructure as part of a partnership with Nvidia to expand a data centre in South Korea. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe says that as part of the deal, Nvidia would invest $1-billion (U.S.) into South Korean Internet company Naver Corp., which will finance the remaining amounts to finance the project. The expanded infrastructure will be built with Nvidia's DSX platform at Naver's GAK Sejong hyperscale data centre in Sejong. Brookfield touts its artificial-intelligence infrastructure investment platforms as industry-leading, managing $100-billion (U.S.) of assets such as data centres, semiconductor manufacturing and dedicated power generation. Sikander Rashid, Brookfield's global head of AI infrastructure, says the partnership will combine the company's infrastructure investment capabilities, Naver's AI and data-centre operating expertise, and Nvidia's accelerated computing platform to advance the country's AI capabilities. Nvidia's Jensen Huang says the trio are "building sovereign AI infrastructure at the scale needed to fuel Korea's start-ups and industries."
