Covering Disruptive Technology Powering Business in The Digital Age

SK Telecom has announced that it received the ISO/IEC 42001 certification, an international standard for (Artificial Intelligence) AI management systems.

The company has been leading the growth of the mobile industry since 1984. Now, it is taking customer experience to new heights by extending beyond connectivity. By placing AI at the core of its business, SK Telecom is rapidly transforming into an AI company with a strong global presence. It is focusing on driving innovations in areas of AI Infrastructure, AI Transformation (AIX) and AI Service to deliver greater value for industry, society, and life

The ISO/IEC 42001 standard was jointly created by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It guides businesses and organizations in the ethical and responsible use of AI by providing a certifiable AI management system framework in which AI systems can be developed and deployed as part of an AI assurance ecosystem.

The certification process thoroughly assesses the organisation’s AI management systems, including AI policy, AI risk handling and assessment, AI impact assessment, AI ethics compliance and regulatory response, and transparency in AI management processes.

With the ISO/IEC 42001 certification, SK Telecom has been internationally recognised for effectively implementing AI risk management based on reliability and stability.

Responsible AI by SK Telecom

In January 2024, SK Telecom introduced AI governance into its corporate management to facilitate sustainable value creation based on the ethical use of AI technology and transparent decision-making. To this end, the company established a dedicated AI governance organisation headed by its Chief Governance Officer to build AI governance processes and create synergy with other organisations within the company.

In March, SK Telecom made public its AI governance principle called “T.H.E. AI,” which stands for “by Telco, for Humanity, with Ethics AI,” to lay the foundation for its decision-making system as a global AI company with roots in telecommunications.

With the acquisition of this international standard certification, we expect to strengthen our position as an AI company that communicates with stakeholders based on trust and safety,” said Jung Jai-hun, Chief Governance Officer of SK Telecom.
