South Korea to launch free nationwide AI service via three telecom-led consortia
South Korea's government will roll out a free generative AI program called 'AI for All' starting with beta testing in September, expanding to the whole population later this year. Three consortia, including groups led by the nation's top telecom carriers and Kakao's operator, will build apps that connect to government systems for tasks like booking medical appointments, apartment hunting, and tax filing, with no token limits on usage.
