South Korea's National Artificial Intelligence Strategy Committee has set up new subcommittees on autonomous driving and humanoid robots to expand industrial AI transition. The committee held kickoff meetings and began discussing key agendas to implement the national AI action plan. The autonomous driving group reviewed transport ministry plans and debated data, infrastructure and rules, while the humanoid group heard industry presentations and a trade ministry draft plan covering capabilities and ecosystem support.

AI audio research and development startup ElevenLabs said on April 21 that senior care specialist Caring has adopted the ElevenLabs Agents Platform and is expanding its AI emotional care service. Caring operates a service that calls older people who are alone and provides regular conversations outside caregiver visit hours. After adopting the solution, Caring also plans to enter global markets. Caring ran pilot projects from November to January and reported full completion and participation rates.
