Krafton (259960.KS) Chief Executive Officer Kim Chang-han met with AWS CEO Matt Garman and other key Amazon Web Services executives in Seattle on Tuesday.

The two companies shared Krafton's artificial intelligence (AI) vision and held in-depth discussions on cooperation in technology development using cloud and AI infrastructure.
