The 'Pedestrian Navigation' service, launched in partnership with GIS specialist S&B Software, departs from vehicle-centric route navigation and provides pedestrian-oriented wayfinding services covering sidewalks, crosswalks, overpasses, underpasses, subway exits, and alleyways. It provides regional information covering approximately 90% of the country and is compatible with integration with other APIs. The service is currently integrated and used in the Korea Tourism Organization's and Incheon International Airport Corporation's Korea tourism apps for foreign visitors.
The '080 SMS Blocking' API automatically processes SMS blocking requests from subscribers through an ARS system and provides real-time blocked phone number data via toll-free 080 telephone numbers. For existing customers using high-volume SMS APIs on the 'API Store', the service is available for 8,500 won per month.
The 'Pedestrian Navigation' and '080 SMS Blocking' APIs provided this time can be implemented by issuing an API KEY from the API Store without additional measures and applying it.

The Problem with AI is Not Performance, but Trust
CEO Kang Min-seung emphasized at Snowflake's World Tour Seoul that generative AI has entered a phase where "trust" rather than accuracy becomes the key competitive advantage. As AI is applied to various tasks including consultation, risk management, and operational automation, incorrect data, erroneous responses, and bias are creating actual business risks. He pointed out that enterprises must build a trust layer above AI. To achieve this, accurate data management, semantic structuring, governance, and prompt security are essential. He explained that AI is not merely an automation tool but a technology that reorganizes the entire organization's workflows and decision-making systems. Snowflake provides a platform that supports this trust-based AI operation, emphasizing that enterprises should build "trustworthy AI" rather than "intelligent AI."
