Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Chung Eui-sun and HD Hyundai Vice Chairman Chung Ki-sun met on the 9th (local time) at CES 2024, the world's largest home appliance and IT exhibition held in Las Vegas, USA. Vice Chairman Chung shared his ambition with Chairman Chung to make construction sites safer through AI and unmanned technologies at the HD Hyundai booth.

Chairman Chung visited the HD Hyundai booth at 10:15 a.m. shortly after the opening of CES. Vice Chairman Chung personally introduced the booth for about eight minutes, explaining, "There are many accidents at construction sites, but in the future, by utilizing unmanned technology and AI, construction sites will become safer and more efficient."

Vice Chairman Chung toured the booth with the executive team, including Kim Sung-joon, CEO of HD Hyundai Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering, Choi Cheol-gon, President of HD Hyundai Construction Equipment, Cho Seok, President of HD Hyundai Electric, and Lee Dong-wook, CTO (Chief Technology Officer) of HD Hyundai Site Solutions.

After touring the booth, Vice Chairman Chung told reporters, "If last year’s theme was the ocean, this year we aimed to showcase the vision of introducing intelligence, automation, unmanned technology, and electrification and hydrogen technologies in powertrains to the construction machinery industry. The goal is to make construction sites safe, efficient, eco-friendly, and sustainable. This theme is reflected throughout the exhibition and will continue in tomorrow’s keynote speech."

Regarding this year’s key topic at CES, he specifically pointed to the practical application of AI in industrial sites. Vice Chairman Chung said, "Until previous years, AI was mainly represented by AI chatbots like ChatGPT, but from this year onward, the focus seems to be on how AI is actually applied in industrial sites and other fields."

GS Energy President Heo Yong-soo also visited the HD Hyundai booth that morning. After greeting Vice Chairman Chung, President Heo toured the booth for about 30 minutes.
