KT participated in a global event co-hosted by the United Nations (UN) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to discuss responsible artificial intelligence (AI) and global AI standard cooperation.
According to KT, the company took part in the 'AI for Good Global Summit' roundtable session titled 'AI Foundations: Digital Trust and AI Infrastructure for All' held on July 7 in Geneva, Switzerland.
The session was organized by the ITU's Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (TSB), a specialized agency of the UN. Industry, government, and standards organization representatives gathered to discuss building digital trust and AI infrastructure in the era of agentic AI.
KT proposed measures to secure 'Trust Primitives' necessary for the agentic AI era. Trust Primitives include 'Identity' for verifying the agent's identity, 'Consent' indicating the scope of permissions, and 'Verifiability' to prove outcomes.
KT explained that while previous interactions focused on traffic between humans and systems, AI agents will become the primary actors in the future. To ensure agents operate safely, a system of Trust Primitives is essential. This system should be based on open, interoperable standards and neutral trust infrastructure that transcends specific platforms and can be utilized across companies and nations.
On the same day, KT also attended the 'Global AI Governance Dialogue' hosted by the UN, where best practices and international cooperation in AI governance were discussed.
During the session on 'Respecting, Protecting, and Promoting Human Rights: Transparency, Accountability, and Human Involvement,' KT emphasized the need to uphold the human rights principles established by the UN, even as AI technology advances. The company introduced its own AI policies and governance framework, which it applies to its services, including the Genie TV AI agent. KT expressed its commitment to building a preventive, protective, and monitoring system for AI safety in collaboration with the UN.
Park Wan-jin, Senior Vice President of KT's AX Future Technology Institute, stated, "In an era where agents replace humans, it is crucial to ensure technological innovation while safeguarding human rights and building interoperable digital trust. KT will responsibly contribute to global AI standard discussions as a provider of neutral trust infrastructure while developing AI models directly."
The summit runs from July 7 to 10 at the Palexpo Convention Center in Geneva, Switzerland. The event features demonstrations of the latest AI technologies, including agentic AI, edge AI, brain-computer interfaces (BCI), and robotics, along with discussions on AI strategies and governance. Key topics include the future of AI and labor, healthcare, environment, agriculture, health, quantum technology, and international standardization.
