  "summary": "KT has taken a leading role in shaping global standards for AI cybersecurity and digital trust, participating in the International Telecommunication Union's (ITU) Study Group 17 (SG17) meeting in Chongqing, China from September 7-11. The ITU-T SG17 brings together cybersecurity experts from various sectors to develop international standards for cybersecurity, security architectures, privacy protection, and AI security. KT proposed a new work item focused on guidelines for developing AI models specialized in cybersecurity using foundation models, emphasizing the need for standardized development principles to ensure consistent creation and evaluation of these models. If adopted, these guidelines could provide a common framework for organizations developing AI-powered cybersecurity solutions, improving interoperability and threat detection. KT also contributed to the development of a Trust Framework, revising the ITU-T SG17 technical report to improve terminology and add components for real-world systems and services. The company's efforts in international standardization are led by Chang-oh Kim and Heung-yeol Yeom, both of whom hold key positions in KT's privacy protection group and committees.",
