South Korea plans to launch free AI agent services for all citizens by year-end, enabling real-world task execution via messengers, calls, and texts. The AI for All project involves major telecom consortiums led by SK Telecom, KT, and Kakao, aiming to integrate AI into daily life and expand the domestic AI market.
