KT, 1분기 수익성 악화…2분기 'AX 비전 본격 가동'

KT is pivoting from a traditional telco to an 'AX Platform Company' by leveraging strategic partnerships with Microsoft and Palantir to drive AI-led growth. This shift is crucial as the company seeks to offset temporary profit declines and domestic market saturation with high-value B2B AI services and cloud infrastructure. The success of this transition will determine KT's ability to redefine its corporate value beyond the legacy telecommunications sector.
