The Korea Association for ICT Promotion (KAIT) announced on the 24th that it held its 145th board meeting and 40th regular general meeting at Lotte Hotel in Sogong-dong, Seoul, and appointed Jung Jaeheon, CEO of SK Telecom, as its new chairman.
At the general meeting, participants discussed the association's operational direction and measures to strengthen its organizational foundation in order to respond to an industrial environment that is being restructured around artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies.
They also approved amendments to the articles of association to change the association's English name, in order to reflect its expanded business scope that now includes AI.
The association plans to continue expanding its public role by fostering digital talent, supporting AI-based industries, and strengthening its functions in policy research and institutional improvement.
In his inaugural address, Chairman Jung said, "As the era of AI and digital transformation accelerates, the role of the association is becoming ever more important," adding, "We will further strengthen the association's standing as a central institution for promoting the AI industry and supporting digital policy."
