On May 8, the Gwangju Police Agency announced that it has partnered with Kakao Mobility and GT Mobility to promote public safety initiatives using passenger monitors installed in Kakao T Blue taxis nationwide.
This collaboration was organized to familiarize citizens with various crimes, such as voice phishing and deepfake scams, by leveraging taxis as an everyday mode of transportation. Promotional videos related to these crimes will be broadcast on 10- to 13-inch passenger monitors installed inside the taxis.
For the month of May, videos focusing on the prevention of "institution impersonation voice phishing" and "AI deepfake" crimes will be played more than 20,000 times daily in Kakao T Blue vehicles nationwide. The police plan to gradually expand the topics to include traffic safety, smishing, and other issues.
The Gwangju Police stated, "Taxi drivers are not just providers of transportation, but also mobile citizen watchdogs for crime prevention and integral members of the social safety net. This collaboration is significant in that it provides public safety information in transit environments and strengthens the social role of private platforms."
