Speaker Bio

June Paik is the CEO of FuriosaAI, setting the company’s vision to build a new foundation for AI compute. Since co-founding the company in 2017 with just $1 million, June has overseen the launch of two AI accelerators, for computer vision tasks and for language models and agentic AI deployments in data centers, and the raise of over $100 million in funding. Drawing on his background as both a hardware and software engineer at Samsung and AMD, June has directed a hardware-software co-design at the core of Furiosa. This holistic approach led to the company’s novel Tensor Contraction Processor chip architecture, which overcomes the limitations of GPUs to deliver both elite performance and sustainable economics. June chose the name "FuriosaAI" as a placeholder, but it's come to signify the company's relentless determination in charting its own path to solve the world’s need for a new kind of AI compute.
