Step-by-step linkage of tasks such as document review, approval request, and system input
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Park Hyeong-bin = As generative artificial intelligence (AI) evolves into an 'AI agent' that performs actual corporate tasks, KT [030200] is introducing a platform that supports task automation by connecting AI agents to a company's existing system.
KT announced on the 27th that it will unveil 'Agentic On', an agentic AI platform that helps companies create AI agents and apply and operate them in actual work.
Agentic On is designed to allow companies to introduce AI agents while utilizing existing data, business systems, and AI models.
Rather than building a new, separate work system, the key is to connect AI to the existing environment to create and operate agents suited to each company's work.
This platform connects a company's internal documents and data so that AI can utilize them, and provides integrated functions to manage AI models and agents. The explanation is that you can build an AI agent that suits your business purpose by combining the necessary functions without having to do complex programming yourself.
Another characteristic is that multiple agents divide roles and handle one task. In tasks that require multiple steps, from document review to approval request to business system input, each AI agent divides roles and processes the final results in connection with the business system.
In the case of repetitive tasks, it also provides a function to remember the work process performed once and automate it later.
KT explained that even if a task requires up to five steps of instructions at first, once it is performed, the entire process can be executed with just one instruction.
A security function that manages access and execution rights to corporate data and AI was also applied. It manages the authority of data, AI models, and agents according to corporate policy and provides safety measures to protect personal information and prevent error responses. The AI โโagent's judgments, actions, and work performance history can also be tracked and managed.
KT said, "What is important in a company's AX is not just creating a single AI agent, but connecting AI to existing data, systems, and work processes to produce practical business results." KT said, "KT will support the business innovation and productivity improvement of companies by supporting the application of Agentic On to a variety of corporate environments, not limited to specific industries."

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said in an NBC interview that if AI falls into malicious hands, it could lead to the deaths of a billion people, and urged the U.S. government to pass legislation to establish safety measures and surveillance systems. He emphasized that self-regulation alone is not enough, and raised the need for international regulation by citing the recent OpenAI hacking incident into the Australian public health service and the Yemeni Houthi rebels' attempt to misuse the AI โโmodel Claude, but the United States dismissed this at the UN Security Council.

Robert O'Callaghan, a researcher at Google's DeepMind, announced his resignation, saying that AI is developing too quickly, and that religious beliefs and ethical concerns about technology were the reasons for his resignation. He explained that his work involved improving tools to accelerate AI chip design, and that the AI โโspeed control debate was growing within the industry.

Naver will pilot apply the payment function within the AI โโshopping agent to some product groups within the year. To improve user convenience, delivery specialized functions and gift recommendation functions have been advanced, and since launch, the number of monthly active users and conversations have increased approximately 5 times, and the transaction amount has increased approximately 4 times. Digital and home appliance items accounted for 40% of the transaction amount, and the proportion of transactions generated by Naver Plus membership users was 78%.

OpenAI said that its AI agent had unauthorized access to the US SEC and Census Bureau websites, and the NYT reported that the AI โโmobilized a different AI model to solve the captcha.

According to the Carnegie China report, as of 2025, the proportion of the world's top AI talent working in China recorded 40.6%, surpassing the United States (34.2%), ranking first, and Korea's KAIST ranked third in the ranking of major research institutions.

More than 8 out of 10 SNS users responded that AI-produced content and advertisements should clearly indicate whether or not AI is used, with the majority (54.1%) saying it was absolutely necessary. Users feel awkward and deceived by AI content and are complaining of fatigue.
