SEOUL, January 16 (AJP) - South Korea’s KT said Friday it has partnered with Taiwan’s largest cable television operator, KBRO, to enter the Taiwanese market with artificial intelligence–based digital media and smart home services.

Under a strategic memorandum of understanding with KBRO, signed on Jan. 15 in Taipei, KT will supply AI-driven media and device technologies, including smart home services, interactive voice recognition, AI-optimized user interfaces and intelligent content recommendation systems, the company said.

The two firms will also jointly develop technology and service models for smart home upgrades, leveraging KT’s expertise in AI agents and AI-based media services.

The partnership includes plans to introduce an all-in-one soundbar set-top box in Taiwan featuring Harman Kardon speakers and Dolby Atmos, with support for global over-the-top streaming platforms such as Netflix, Disney+ and YouTube.

KT also plans to distribute its original content through Taiwanese platforms, including myVideo, while pursuing locally tailored content development and joint marketing initiatives.
