MOU Signed for Service Development Utilizing AI Speaker 'GiGA Genie'
Green Car search and reservation services are scheduled to be available on GiGA Genie during the first half of the year.

KT, which secured 700,000 subscribers just one year and two months after the launch of 'GiGA Genie,' is integrating AI technology into its car-sharing service. Users will be able to make car-sharing reservations via GiGA Genie as early as the first half of this year.

KT announced that it has signed a 'Memorandum of Understanding for Cooperation on AI Car Sharing Services' with Green Car. Officials from both companies, including KT AI Business Unit Head Executive Director Kim Chae-hee and Green Car CEO Kim Jwa-il, attended the signing ceremony.

Moving forward, the two companies will pursue initiatives such as providing Green Car search and reservation services via GiGA Genie, jointly developing customer-tailored car-sharing services, and engaging in marketing cooperation. The Green Car search and reservation service through GiGA Genie is scheduled to launch in the first half of this year, with the goal of discovering innovative service models that combine telecommunications and car-sharing.

KT’s ‘GiGA Genie,’ which recently surpassed 700,000 subscribers, provides not only voice but also audiovisual information simultaneously. It has the advantage of enabling service expansion into various fields, as it allows users to conveniently check various information such as shopping, education, finance, and information search.


KT is enhancing its AI services by recently signing business agreements with partners in various fields, including Kumyoung Group, Lotteria, Kiwoom Securities, and Hyundai E&C. Green Car, which is collaborating this time, is the first operator to introduce car-sharing services in Korea in 2011 and holds the largest scale in the industry, particularly in the field of eco-friendly electric vehicles.

Kim Chae-hee, Senior Vice President and Head of KT’s AI Business Unit, stated, “This will serve as an opportunity for AI to become even closer to the younger generation who frequently use car sharing, and will provide them with the value of new experiences,” adding, “We will lead market innovation by combining Green Car’s robust car sharing infrastructure with KT’s differentiated artificial intelligence technology.”

Green Car CEO Kim Jwa-il stated, “Two keywords that are recently transforming our lives and industries are the growing sharing economy market and advanced artificial intelligence technology,” adding, “The business agreement for the development of AI car-sharing services signed between Green Car and KT will serve as an important stepping stone to lead the Fourth Industrial Revolution along with the advancement of car-sharing services.”
