SEOUL, October 14 (AJP) - South Korean telecom company KT said Tuesday its chief executive, Kim Young-seop, met with Alex Karp, the CEO of U.S. data analytics firm Palantir Technologies, in Seoul to discuss ways to expand the use of Palantir’s artificial intelligence platforms across South Korean industries.
The meeting, held at KT’s headquarters in Gwanghwamun, centered on how to implement Palantir’s technology for local businesses in sectors ranging from finance to manufacturing and public services.
Karp’s visit coincided with KT’s AX Leader Summit, an AI-focused forum that brought together senior executives from major Korean companies, including Woo Ki-hong of Korean Air, Kim Yong-beom of Meritz Financial Group, Koo Ja-kyun of LS Electric, and Lee Joo-tae of POSCO Holdings.
KT is currently piloting Palantir’s AI platform in its cloud-based systems to evaluate their effectiveness in analyzing complex corporate data and supporting management decisions.
The company said it has gained consulting and technical know-how through these trials and plans to package them into integrated AI services for Korean clients, particularly in sectors where data security is critical.
“Our collaboration with Palantir will become a model for AI-driven innovation across South Korea’s key industries,” Kim said. “We aim to enhance decision-making and operational efficiency through responsible AI use.”
Karp described the partnership as “a significant step forward in secure cloud-based data utilization and industry-specific innovation,” according to KT.
