SKT to Launch a Updated 'A.' AI Service

On March 2 (KST), SK Telecom announced that it has launched "A." a new update service that allows users to communicate "like a person" by remembering old information and presenting relevant photos during conversations.

SKT has applied 'Long-term Memory' technology, 'Image Re-trieval' technology, and 'Image Retrieval' technology to enable A. to think and express itself like a human by simultaneously learning images and Korean text collected from various areas. It also focuses on "emotional conversations" that can acquire a vast amount of knowledge and remember them like a friend. S

KT has partnered with YBM, Yanadu, and Redkiwi to introduce A., an English learning service, which uses Image Retrieval, Multimodal, Long-term Memory, and AI Speech Synthesis technology to recognize text, classify related images into categories, and find suitable images. Users can select/change to their favorite character at any time and access English vocabulary and expressions for business, daily conversations, and public exams, audio learning content, and 'shadowing'.

Huawei Launches the Green 1-2-3 Solution at MWC 2023

On February 28 (KST), the Huawei Green ICT Summit was held in Barcelona and Peng Song, President of ICT Strategy & Marketing of Huawei, delivered a keynote speech entitled 'Green & Development, Choosing Not to Choose'. Peng argued that simultaneous green ICT and ICT development is possible if the right balance is struck between energy efficiency, renewable energy utilization, and user experience. Huawei will launch solutions that embody this approach to pave the way for the green development of ICT infrastructure networks. Huawei has launched the Huawei Green 1-2-3 solution, which focuses on two scenarios: high energy efficiency and ultra-low energy consumption. The focus should be on network energy saving and KPI assurance, but extend to user experience assurance.

Intelligent scheduling algorithms can maximize power generation efficiency and load-based power availability while minimizing overall power cost. Experience-driven approaches are being upgraded to data-driven approaches, allowing energy-saving policies to be generated in minutes and optimization policies to be delivered in milliseconds. Huawei is willing to work with operators worldwide to strike a balance between going green and development, in order to accelerate green ICT development.

Intel Releases Quantum Software Development Kit Version 1.0

On February 28, Intel released version 1.0 of the Intel® Quantum Software Development Kit (SDK).

The SDK is a full quantum computer in simulation that can interface with Intel's quantum hardware, including the Horse Ridge II control chip and Intel's quantum spin qubit chip. It features an intuitive programming interface written in C++ using an industry-standard low-level virtual machine (LLVM) compiler toolchain. Intel has extended LLVM with quantum extensions and developed a quantum runtime environment, IQS, to enable efficient execution of hybrid classical-quantum workflows and high-performance simulation.

Intel is also providing grants to five universities to develop quantum course curricula and host an Intel Quantum Computing Challenge at Deggendorf Institute of Technology. Beta testers are saying it is a game-changer in the quantum development space, allowing developers to operate closer to the hardware for better resource utilization.

UNIST and Korea University Research Teams Discover Photosensitive Ion Channels in Layered MXene Membranes

UNIST and Korean University Research Teams, led by Prof. Sang Kyu Kwak and Hyunhyub Ko discover "Photosensitive Ion Channels in Layered MXene Membranes Modified with Plasmonic Gold Nanostars and Cellulose Nanofibers". The study published by Nature Communications on 23 January 2023, and the abstract of study is: Ion channels transduce external stimuli into ion-transport-mediated signaling, which has received considerable attention in diverse fields such as sensors, energy harvesting devices, and desalination membrane. In this work, we present a photosensitive ion channel based on plasmonic gold nanostars AuNSs and CNFs embedded in layered MXene nanosheets. The MAC membrane provides subnanometer-sized ionic pathways for light-sensitive cationic flow. When the MAC nanochannel is exposed to NIR light, a photothermal gradient is formed, which induces directional photothermo-osmotic flow of nanoconfined electrolyte against the thermal gradient and produces a net ionic current. MAC membrane exhibits enhanced photothermal current compared with pristine MXene, which is attributed to the combined photothermal effects of plasmonic AuNSs and MXene and the widened interspacing of the MAC composite via the hydrophilic nanofibrils. The MAC composite membranes are envisioned to be applied in flexible ionic channels with ionogels and light-controlled ionic circuits.
