KT announced that it participated in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) international standards meeting held in Chongqing, China, from September 7 to 11. The ITU is a UN agency responsible for establishing international standards related to information and communication technology. The meeting focused on discussions around cybersecurity, security architecture, data privacy, and artificial intelligence (AI) security.
Chang-ho Kim, Chief Privacy Officer (CPO) of KT, led global standardization discussions in AI cybersecurity and digital trust as the chair of the Trustworthiness and Security Strategy and Cooperation Working Group (ITU-T SG17 WP3). He was joined by Hyung-yeol Yeom, who served as the chair of ITU-T SG17 from 2016 to 2024 and is currently the chair of KT's Privacy Advisory Committee, to enhance KT's global leadership in information security and expertise in international standards.
The two officials proposed several recommendations in a position paper, including sources of cybersecurity knowledge and datasets for AI model development, technical considerations for developing specialized cybersecurity models, evaluation considerations throughout the model development lifecycle, and best practices for continuous model improvement.
The meeting also included discussions on defining 'trust' and 'reliability' in the telecommunications and information and communication technology (ICT) environment and how to apply these concepts to real systems and services. KT proposed amendments to supplement key term definitions in the technical report and added components and requirements for the trust framework. Support from representatives from the UK and India helped finalize the report's publication.
Yeom stated, "In a situation where AI technology is rapidly spreading across industries, it is crucial for the international community to establish development standards for AI models specialized in cybersecurity and a trust framework for ICT services together."
Kim added, "Based on KT's accumulated experience in telecommunications, ICT, information security, and privacy, we will continue to contribute to global standardization in the security field."
