Telecoms & Connectivity

Digital TV announced in August 2023 that SK Telecom; a primary mobile carrier in South Korea, invested $100 million into Anthropic; a US-based AI technology firm, to build a large language model specifically catered to strengthen its telecommunications-driven AI business.

This future acquisition will use Anthropic’s existing AI model Claude, a competitor of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, to customise the developing language model; more precisely accommodating the telco industries’ needs. The model is also set to cater to various languages, including Korean, English, Japanese and Spanish; expanding its applicability on a global scale.
