Media companies are expanding experiments using AI, with a focus on cutting production costs, developing new genres and improving user experience. Video tools now generate longer 4K content with audio and better character consistency. Broadcasters and studios are testing AI in election coverage, animation and drama, while China pushes commercialisation. In distribution, recommendation algorithms and AI dubbing are becoming core infrastructure. The shift is also raising concerns over copyright, creator protection and review standards.

Korea Association for Information and Communication Technology Promotion (KAIT) said it launched a council with used device distributors to help revitalise the used device industry. The council will share industry trends, promote the sector and seek joint responses to difficulties faced by businesses. It will also work to improve and expand a certification programme for safe used-device traders and a service that confirms used-device transaction records, which the ministry and KAIT have operated since last May.
