KT said on Sunday it will accelerate companywide IT modernisation to strengthen information security and service stability and to lay the groundwork for executing its strategy as an AI transformation platform company. Under its \'Next IT\' strategy, KT will expand the scope of core system upgrades across platforms, infrastructure and the work environment and shift step by step to an AI-native next-generation IT framework. The plan spans platform modernisation, next-generation infrastructure and AI-driven work methods.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (샘 알트먼) said he is concerned that control over artificial intelligence could become concentrated in a small number of companies or individuals. Speaking on a podcast hosted by David Senra, he said more people should hold influence over AI’s future. Altman also raised the risk of AI escaping human control, while warning that overemphasising such risks could lead to approaches that trade freedom for safety.
