[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] Lotte ON announced on the 8th that it has signed a business agreement with Korea Water Resources Corporation for "ICT-based social contribution activities using artificial intelligence (AI) speakers."

Lotte ON donated 1,000 AI speakers, Charlotte Home, to Korea Water Resources Corporation and plans to provide technical support in collaboration with partner companies for easier future use. Charlotte Home is equipped with voice commerce functions and, unlike general AI speakers, has a screen that enables video calls and video viewing.

Korea Water Resources Corporation plans to operate the "Our Home Welfare Center (tentative name)" service for 1,000 elderly people living in areas around dams with poor accessibility, using the AI speakers received from Lotte ON. The Our Home Welfare Center service is designed to support a fulfilling old age by alleviating information gaps, feelings of alienation, and loneliness among the elderly. Without having to visit a welfare center, participants can receive interactive online education at home or access online content such as home healthcare and dementia prevention brain games.

A Lotte ON official said, "As Korea approaches a super-aged society, demand for care services utilizing online technology is expected to increase. Starting with this business cooperation with Korea Water Resources Corporation, we plan to design various social contribution activities."
