Published2017.06.21 15:09Offers stock price inquiries, upper and lower limits of the stock market, top stocks in foreign and institutional trading, enabling three-dimensional understanding of the stock market
Plans to combine big data and fintech technology in the future to recommend financial products to customers
An 'artificial intelligence (AI) securities trading service' is being introduced that allows you to learn in a single voice command everything from the securities with the highest trading volume today to those with the highest rate of increase, as well as the stocks most frequently bought (sold) by foreigners (institutions).
SK Telecom and Samsung Securities signed a memorandum of understanding on the 'AI voice financial service' provision at SK Telecom's T Tower on Eulji-ro on the 21st, and announced plans to launch the related service in the third quarter.
The AI securities service utilizes the AI device 'Nugu' to enable not only stock price inquiries for pre-registered stocks of interest but also ▲guidance on domestic and international stock indices and market information ▲recommendations of stocks and funds ▲connection to Samsung Securities customer service calls, and more.
Users can register up to 10 stocks of interest, and the service will provide individual stock prices for stocks of interest as well as rising and falling stocks and the rate of increase for stocks of interest.
Additionally, 'Nugu' and users can engage in Q&A that enables three-dimensional understanding of the stock market such as the upper and lower limits of the stock market and the stocks that have risen the most. 'Nugu' also explains stocks ranked 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in trading volume and top stocks in foreign and institutional trading, and can inquire into the KOSPI index along with ▲Dow, Nasdaq, S&P 500 (US) ▲Shanghai Composite, Shenzhen Component (China) ▲Hang Seng (Hong Kong) ▲Taiwan Weighted (Taiwan) ▲Nikkei (Japan) ▲DAX (Germany), FTSE, Euro Stoxx 50 (UK), and others. Additionally, recommended stocks selected by Samsung Securities are also provided via voice.
The two companies plan to launch services in the third quarter focused on securities inquiry functions, and in the future plan to expand the 'voice financial service' to enable investment return analysis and interactive personalized product recommendations.
Kim Sung-han, head of SK Telecom's AI Business Division, stated, "We plan to expand opportunities for customers to experience AI services across all areas of lifestyle finance including banking, securities, credit cards, and insurance," and added, "We hope that the two companies will cooperate to gradually advance AI-based financial services."

[Reporter's Notebook] Would you like to place an AI speaker at your father's house?
Leading companies have all taken on the role of "assistant." With Alexa, Google Assistant, Cortana and others, we now have—and will continue to have—multiple voice assistants to choose from. Amazon, which opened the voice assistant speaker market in 2014 with the Echo, has since launched the Echo Dot and Echo Look, followed by the Echo Show with a touch screen. Domestic companies are also moving actively. In the Korean market, KT and SK have launched speakers, while LG, Naver, and Kakao are in the preparation stage. SK announced that NUGU, which began sales in September of last year, has surpassed 1 million units sold. In June, SK will introduce Aibril, a Korean-type Watson developed in cooperation with IBM's Watson. An SK C&C Aibril official stated, "There were no open-type API companies in Korea, and Watson has already emerged as a strong player in natural language processing. We chose a strategy to secure data rather than allocate time to platform construction." KT's GiGaGenie has presented an integrated speaker with a set-top box to existing Olleh TV customers. Naver disclosed artificial intelligence "Clova" before launching a speaker. Kakao began artificial intelligence development by establishing Kakao Brain in February.

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."

The Decisive Factor for AI Agents in Finance: "Trustworthy Data Infrastructure"
The key to spreading AI agents in the financial sector is establishing a trustworthy data system. KB Kookmin Bank is operating over 100 AI agents by 2025 and is promoting expansion to 300. AI is automating repetitive tasks across various areas such as consultation, risk management, wealth management, and relationship management. However, if data quality, governance, and semantic structuring are insufficient, errors and risks increase. KB is building an AI-Ready organization through a multi-model strategy of GPT, Gemini, and Claude, as well as a Snowflake-based data system. The bank emphasized that AI has entered a phase where it restructures not just simple automation but the entire work process and decision-making system.
