  "summary": "The Korea Times reports that KT, KAIST, and DAIM Research have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on developing technology that integrates artificial intelligence with machines in manufacturing processes. The partnership aims to create a dark-factory platform, focusing on automating manufacturing processes and building dark factories. The five-year project, backed by the Ministry of Science and ICT, will see KAIST and DAIM Research contribute robotics technology and platforms for managing logistics and manufacturing robots, while KT will provide an operating platform to integrate and manage different robots and AI systems. Additionally, KT plans to incorporate edge AI and high-speed, low-latency network infrastructure into the project.",
