Krafton Chief AI Officer Lee Kang-wook (Krafton)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Korean game developer Krafton said Monday that it has created a new chief artificial intelligence officer position, appointing AI division head Lee Kang-wook to lead the company\u2019s technology strategy.<\/p>\n

As CAIO, Lee will oversee AI research and development as well as Krafton\u2019s mid- to long-term AI roadmap. The company said the move reflects his expertise in advanced AI research, project execution and organizational leadership.<\/p>\n

Lee received his doctorate in electrical and computer engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 2016 and has served as a professor at the University of Wisconsin\u2013Madison since 2019. Since joining Krafton in 2022, he has reorganized the company\u2019s AI research infrastructure and led the development of its proprietary foundation model.<\/p>\n

Last year, Lee also headed a joint project with Nvidia to unveil a \u201cco-playable character,\u201d an AI system capable of interacting with users in real time.<\/p>\n

With the new role, Krafton plans to deepen its AI-driven game infrastructure and expand technology-led business initiatives. The company aims to enhance user experiences, streamline development processes, and unlock new growth opportunities through AI.<\/p>\n

\u201cKrafton sees AI not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a tool that expands imagination,\u201d Lee said. \u201cWhile strengthening our core gaming business, we will explore the long-term scalability of AI technology and data.\u201d<\/p>\n
