AI transformation, AI sovereignty, security, and network reliability were key agenda items at the event.
SKT said it is considering broadening the scope of cooperation to include security, technological sovereignty, and network reliability in response to the expansion of AI infrastructure and services. The company presented this direction in light of the fact that the event also addressed security, technological sovereignty, and telecommunications network reliability issues accompanying the spread of AI.
CEO Jeong met with GSMA Secretary General Vivek Badrinath and discussed opportunities for growth in the AI-driven telecom industry and the direction of AI transformation in telecom infrastructure. At the meeting, Jeong introduced SKT's vision for an 'Asia AI infrastructure hub' and also explained its AI full-stack strategy covering infrastructure, models, and services.
The two sides then discussed the trust foundation needed to expand AI businesses. They addressed strengthening information security systems, preventing digital crime, and advancing AI-based networks, while also reviewing the role of telecom operators and possible areas for cooperation.
CEO Jeong also met with TradeWinds Director Syed Daniel Al-Bukhari. The two sides discussed opportunities for cooperation, and TradeWinds is the investment company of Malaysia's Al-Bukhari Group. The Al-Bukhari Group operates businesses in major Malaysian infrastructure sectors including ports, automobiles, energy, finance, and media.
A roundtable was also held that day with executives from major Asian telecom and tech companies in Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore. The roundtable focused on digital trust, and participants agreed that as AI spreads, strengthening security, securing technological sovereignty, and improving governance are emerging as factors that determine the competitiveness of the telecom industry.
SKT plans to use this discussion as a springboard to concretize cooperation in digital trust with global telecom operators. The focus of the collaboration is to raise security levels across networks and services while expanding the adoption of AI technologies and to share related experience.
SKT CEO Jeong Jae-heon said that, in the AI era, the ability to secure customer and social trust at a pace matching the speed of technological innovation is a key factor determining corporate competitiveness.
