SK Telecom will push its “AI for everyone” business by leveraging full-stack capabilities that connect its proprietary AI model, infrastructure and public-facing services. It aims to build an “intelligence improvement loop” that feeds experience and data collected from real services back into model upgrades. SKT unveiled its 688 billion-parameter A.X K2 foundation model and plans efficiency measures such as MoE, inference control and system-level optimisation. It is forming a consortium of about 20 organisations and separate MOUs with 11 companies.

SK Telecom said on Sunday it has opened an industry-academia course with Seoul National University to nurture future artificial intelligence talent. The 15-week programme, aimed at graduate students in the university’s electrical and computer engineering department in the second half of 2026, covers AI apps and services, AI modelling and AI infrastructure. SKT plans to share its AI research outcomes and commercialisation cases. SKT CEO Jae-heon Jung will deliver the first special lecture on Sept. 1.
