LG CNS, KDDI team up on AI business in Asia-Pacific

LG CNS, a division of the LG Group, has entered into a memorandum of understanding with KDDI, a leading Japanese telecommunications company, to collaborate on artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation initiatives across the Asia-Pacific region. KDDI, one of Japan's three major telecom operators, offers consumer mobile and internet services, as well as business IT services, including AI, cloud computing, and network infrastructure.

With operations in 19 locations across 15 countries in the Asia-Pacific region, the partnership aims to leverage LG CNS' AI and digital transformation capabilities alongside KDDI's telecom infrastructure and global network to uncover new business opportunities in AI, smart cities, telecommunications, and integrated IT system management.

The collaboration will focus on developing agentic AI services, which are AI systems capable of performing tasks autonomously. These services will be tailored to the specific needs of local businesses in KDDI's regional markets and will be built upon LG CNS' AgenticWorks platform. In addition to agentic AI, the companies will also explore partnerships in automating various business processes and systems.
