Next, participants toured 'Tium,' Korea's representative ICT experience center located at SKT headquarters. Participants experienced various ICT technologies including AI, AR, and sensory communication, confirming SKT's vision for new value and the future world.


Finally, the university students had a free discussion session with developers responsible for AI research and development at SKT, sharing various information that can only be known after entering the AI development field, such as improving development skills, career paths, and practical study requirements.


In addition to the headquarters visit tour, SKT is nurturing talents in the AI field by providing university students aspiring to AI-related careers with the 'SKT AI Curriculum' and 'Technical Seminars' through the SKT University Collaboration website.
