AI technology integration in South Korean public services

Overview

South Korean municipalities are implementing artificial intelligence and digital display technologies to enhance public services and accessibility.

In Yongin Special City, plans were announced to install AI-based smart digital signage at Yongin Central Market. Supported by national funding, the project aims to assist citizens and tourists with shop locations, events, and amenities using voice recognition and multilingual support in English, Japanese, and Chinese.

Similarly, the Gangnam District Office in Seoul has introduced a ‘Real-Time Transparent OLED Communication Window.’ This system uses AI to provide speech-to-text transcription and translation in 130 languages, facilitating communication for foreign residents and hearing-impaired citizens at administrative service counters.
