KT is making its management direction clearer more than 100 days after Park Yoon-young took office as chief executive, putting an “AX platform company” focused on supporting corporate customers’ AI transformation at the center. KT has announced investment plans for information security, IT innovation, next-generation networks, AI data centres and subsea cables, and is pitching a “token factory” business. It is also positioning its in-house AI model for enterprise use and widening cooperation with global and domestic AI firms.

KT is accelerating a corporate reorganisation under newly appointed CEO Park Yun-young while redesigning its artificial intelligence strategy, amid analysis that weaker-than-expected results from existing efforts have made a review unavoidable. KT has reshaped its R&D organisation and created a new AX business division, saying it aims to strengthen next-generation technology development and competitiveness in business-to-business AI transformation. Industry watchers cite leadership departures and limited results from earlier initiatives as key pressures.
