16 Global Companies Participate, New AI Special Session Established, RCS-based Approval Standard Agenda Proposed
 
A standard structure in which users provide final approval via RCS (Rich Communication Services) message before an AI agent performs actual actions such as payments and reservations has now entered global discussion forums. SK Telecom (SKT) has officially formalized its direction to reestablish messaging as a trust channel between AI and users in international standardization discussions.
 
SKT announced on the 15th that it will host an in-person standardization conference of the GSMA RCS group at SKT Tower in Seoul from the 15th to the 18th.

Thirty-three professionals from 16 companies including global telecom operators such as AT&T, T-Mobile, Vodafone, and Orange, as well as Apple, Google, and Samsung Electronics, along with GSMA Secretariat officials, will attend.

In addition to regular standard agenda items, an AI special session has been added to this conference at SKT's proposal.

SKT coordinated with GSMA to organize a session on the 17th titled 'AI and the Evolution of Messaging' for one full day, and took the lead in composition and speaker selection.

The session will cover △the direction of combining RCS and AI agents △AI trust and user control △improvements to AI-based brand registration procedures △AI spam response in business messaging, among other topics.

SKT proposed 'AI Agent Approval over RCS' as a standard agenda item at this conference.

Before an AI agent confirms a transaction, users verify and approve the order details and payment amount through RCS, an external channel outside the AI service.

SKT explained that RCS can be utilized to verify the legitimacy of requesting companies, as only pre-registered and verified enterprises can display their names and logos.

Approval results are stored in the smartphone's default messaging app conversation list for future reference.
 
SKT operates its own RCS network and has reflected domestic requirements in global standards.

The message formatting feature (Rich Text Formatting) proposed at the Seoul conference in May of last year was reflected in Universal Profile 4.0, the RCS standard specification, in early this year.

SKT announced plans to build an 'AI trust infrastructure' by combining existing telecommunications capabilities such as connectivity and authentication with AI.
 
Yoo Kyung-sang, Head of SKT AI CIC, stated, "As the range of tasks that AI can perform on behalf of users expands, the touchpoint where users directly verify important content and make final decisions becomes increasingly important. We will move forward with concrete standardization discussions with global partners."
