KT announced on September 22 that it held a launch ceremony for the 'Everyone's AI' consortium on September 21 at its Gwanghwamun West Building in Jongno-gu, Seoul, establishing a collaborative framework to implement user-friendly artificial intelligence (AI) services.
The event was attended by representatives from KT Consortium and project managers from 16 participating companies.
KT and the consortium members aim to create AI services that are easily accessible and convenient for the public by integrating their respective technologies and service capabilities through the 'Eum Alliance.'
The Eum Alliance consists of a decision-making body called the 'Eum Connect Board' and a comprehensive council known as the 'Eum Eco Round.' This structure is designed to enhance communication among participating organizations and regularly assess project progress and outcomes. The alliance will jointly manage key schedules and service launch goals while swiftly addressing inter-agency tasks and major issues to improve project speed and quality.
The Eum Connect Board will discuss the main directions and priorities of the project, as well as inter-agency tasks. Experts and project leaders from various fields will participate to coordinate service launch goals and collaborative tasks, refining the project's direction. The 'Eum Eco Round,' a regular integrated council where all participating organizations gather, will review and disseminate key achievements and milestones.
The KT Consortium plans to unveil the beta version of Everyone's AI in October.
Lee Jin-hyung, head of KT's AX Business Division, stated, "The launch of this consortium marks the starting point for domestic AI companies to combine their AI models, platforms, and service capabilities to create user-friendly AI services. KT will strengthen collaboration among participating companies through the Eum Alliance and enhance project execution to deliver AI services that the public can experience in their daily lives."
In addition to KT, the Everyone's AI service will also involve participation from SK Telecom, Kakao, and others.
