According to AI TIMES, the Ministry of Science and ICT on September 4 unveiled the development plans of three consortia selected for the 'AI for Everyone' project, and competition to launch public services within the year has moved into full swing. The initiative is focused on enabling people to use AI agents to handle everyday tasks such as search, applications, reservations, and payments. Kakao highlighted lifestyle-oriented services built on familiar touchpoints such as messaging and phone calls. KT said it aims to broaden use cases by linking AI services across multiple fields on a single platform. SK Telecom is seeking to differentiate itself with an execution-type agent that can handle everything from authentication to actual task processing. The government said it will support the service's adoption in everyday life by promoting links with public services, security, and public-private cooperation.
Perspective
The key issue in this competition is shifting away from who can answer more intelligently to who can more naturally handle real-life procedures on behalf of users. The project is therefore closer to a test case for turning conversational AI into living infrastructure than a simple product race. If a year-end launch becomes a reality, the companies that combine user touchpoints, public-sector integration, and security trust are likely to gain the upper hand. That could also shift the domestic AI market's center of gravity from model performance competition to service execution capability competition.
