SK Telecom said Sunday it plans to build a nationwide network of artificial intelligence data centers in Korea, betting that demand for AI computing power will continue to outstrip supply. The project will begin in Ulsan, where the company is building its first AI data center. SK Telecom plans to use the site as the base for a larger cluster across the Yeongnam region — which includes Busan, Ulsan and Daegu, and the North and South Gyeongsang provinces — with capacity eventually exceeding 2 GW.
