Exploring Kakao CEO Shina Chung's Employment of OpenAI Technology to Transform Kakao Corporation in Forbes Asia's July Publication
**Kakao Partners with OpenAI to Drive Growth and Innovation**
In a strategic move to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into its operations, South Korean internet giant Kakao has formed a landmark alliance with OpenAI, a leading AI company. This partnership is set to enhance Kakao's offerings and improve internal processes.
The core of this strategic approach involves the development of Kanana, a Korean-language AI assistant. This AI assistant, built with OpenAI's technology, aims to offer more personalized and efficient services to Kakao's 49 million users on KakaoTalk, South Korea's most popular messaging platform.
The integration of OpenAI's AI capabilities into KakaoTalk is expected to enrich the features and functionality of the platform, potentially increasing user retention and attracting new users. Moreover, Kakao will utilize OpenAI's ChatGPT Enterprise to enhance internal operations and boost productivity, aiming to streamline processes and improve efficiency across the company.
This strategic move is expected to have significant impacts on Kakao's growth. The enhanced user experience could drive user growth and loyalty, while the operational efficiency improvements could contribute to the company's financial growth. Furthermore, the partnership with OpenAI can help Kakao expand its influence in the Asian market, particularly in the South Korean tech industry, by offering innovative AI-driven solutions.
Meanwhile, the Forbes Global 2000, an annual roster of the world's largest public companies, has reported growth across all four metrics used to rank the 2,000 companies - sales, profits, assets, and market value - despite global uncertainties. China (including Hong Kong) leads the group of Asia-Pacific companies in the Forbes Global 2000, with a total of 765 Asia-Pacific companies included in the list.
The leaders of the companies in the Forbes Global 2000 have made the right calls, as indicated by the higher rankings this year. In Thailand, amid tariff and political turmoil, the net worth of the top three richest individuals has experienced a double-digit boost.
Elsewhere, the leaders of industries are making bold moves. In the Philippines, Isidro Consunji, a respected industrialist, has taken on another challenge with the acquisition of a money-losing cement unit from Mexican giant Cemex. In South Korea, Shina Chung, CEO of Kakao, is meeting with senior editor John Kang to discuss this potential game-changer for the company.
The Forbes Global 2000 is now in its 23rd year and features the inaugural list of the World's 50 Richest Self-Made Women. The largest number on this list, 24, hail from the Asia-Pacific region, with 18 being from China (including Hong Kong).
