According to AI TIMES, KEPCO KDN unveiled its official AI-developed communication character, "Care Cat," on Sept. 15 and moved to expand its friendly touchpoints with the public. The character was refined based on ideas from a public contest held from February to May, and the unveiling event took place at the company’s headquarters the previous day. KEPCO KDN said the aim was to make its image, which can feel somewhat difficult for the general public because of its energy ICT-centered business, more approachable. It gave the character symbolic meaning by linking a meerkat’s alert and watchful nature to the role of protecting electricity and energy. The company also signaled a plan to broaden hands-on experiences and participation by combining on-site events with online channels, while developing the character as a sustained communication tool rather than a one-off promotional asset. In the end, the launch reads as an attempt by a technology-focused public enterprise to use AI to change its brand language and redesign communication in line with the public’s expectations.
Perspective
This issue is significant in that even a public enterprise with a complex business structure is trying to move beyond simply promoting technology itself and instead use technology as a medium to change how it communicates. In particular, if AI adoption expands beyond internal efficiency and service automation into external branding and touchpoint design, it suggests that in the public sector as well, brand strategies that build familiarity and improve understanding could become part of competitiveness.
