South Korean AI startup Rebellions said her planned visit to its headquarters and a partner dinner were cancelled because of unavoidable internal circumstances at Nvidia.
Kakao Mobility also cancelled a photo session and question-and-answer event with her, but said a business agreement with Nvidia would proceed with senior director Gaurav Agarwal attending instead.
Nvidia AI Day Seoul, a two-day event expected to draw about 2,000 participants to discuss physical AI, agentic AI and infrastructure, was proceeding as planned according to South Korean media.
