“Every meeting was kept secret to prevent exposure of each company's AI transformation strategy. It was orchestrated with almost military discipline,” the publication reported, citing a source familiar with the matter.
The Korean executives included Woo Kee-hong, vice chairman of Korean Air Lines Co.; Kim Yong-beom, vice chairman of Meritz Financial Group Inc.; Koo Ja-kyun, chairman of LS Electric Co.; and Lee Joo-tae, CEO of POSCO Holdings Inc. (NYSE:PKX). Each meeting lasted approximately 25 minutes.

The meetings underscore Palantir’s growing interest in South Korea’s data-rich manufacturing sector.

Palantir's AI Bet
Palantir is making significant strides in the AI and data analytics space.
Just a few days ago, Accenture (NYSE:ACN) acquired Decho, a U.K.-based technology and AI consultancy specializing in Palantir platforms, to expand its AI capabilities.
The company also surpassed $1 billion in revenue for the first time and raised its full-year outlook in August thanks to the success of its AI platform.
This growth, along with other factors, has led to Palantir’s valuation being described as “well beyond a Perfect 10 and is rather a ‘Perfect 100'” by Lead Tech Analyst at I/O Fund, Beth Kindig.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Palantir has a growth score of 95.82% and a momentum rating of 96.74%. Click here to see how it compares to other leading tech companies.
