LG Uplus is expanding the scope of its AI agent Ixio from call support to broader daily-life services such as search, scheduling and roaming, while exploring links to physical AI. The company aims to develop Ixio into an ambient AI that connects devices and spaces through voice. With about 1.5 million monthly active users, Ixio trails SK Telecom’s A.dot, which has more than 10 million MAU. LG Uplus is cautious about monetisation and is pursuing overseas carrier partnerships and B2B models.

Tanium Korea said companies need a fundamental shift in patch management as AI automates the full cyberattack chain and sharply shortens the time from vulnerability disclosure to large-scale attacks. Executives said existing patch processes are too slow and that simply increasing speed can raise risks. They proposed policy-led automation and introduced Autonomous Patch Management, which assesses risk in real time, executes patches based on predefined policies and verifies removal of threats. The company also outlined AI-focused security products and an autonomous operations agent.
