Recently, domestic companies have been accelerating the digital transformation of the retail industry by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) technology. KT, NongHyup Agribusiness Group, and Microsoft Korea have recently signed a business agreement to fully promote AI transformation (AX) in the retail sector.
Through this collaboration, the three companies plan to combine their respective expertise. KT will provide stable communication networks and AI technology, while NongHyup Agribusiness Group will utilize its vast retail data. In addition, Microsoft Korea will take on the role of supporting cloud-based AI infrastructure to increase efficiency in retail operations.
