From hackathons to in-house AX training... Korea’s top three telecoms accelerate AI talent development

SK Telecom, KT, and LG Uplus are accelerating practical AI talent development to support their AX transition.

SK Telecom is strengthening youth hackathons and hands-on training in AI security and network operations.

KT is running external youth education programs alongside internal AI hackathons to build AX-ready talent.

LG Uplus is rolling out company-wide standard AI tools and broadening role-based AI adoption across the organization.

As AI infrastructure alone is not enough, securing talent that can connect models, data, and cloud into services is becoming critical for monetization.
