It discussed analyzing visitor data from cultural, sports, and tourism events in local governments and proposed tailored recommendation programs reflecting the success factors of similar events. The second part focused on AI technologies for utilizing public data and discussed directions for internal innovation.
Kim Myung-guk, head of Industrial AI at SKT, stated, "AI agents utilizing private data, such as A-dot, are being applied to field operations in public institutions. We will continue to present solutions that support data utilization and operational innovation in the public sector."
