전국민 무료 '모두의 AI' 이달 첫선… SKT·카카오·KT 각각 선봬

Three carriers, three versions

The initiative, promoted by the Ministry of Science and ICT, is designed to give the entire public free access to AI services. Rather than a single unified platform, the service is being delivered through the country's major telecommunications and platform companies, with SK Telecom, Kakao and KT each unveiling their own iteration this month.

The government has publicized the program through official channels, and the participating companies have announced their respective launches through their own newsrooms and press materials.

What remains unconfirmed

While the overall claim — that a nationwide free AI service debuted this month through the three companies — holds up, some details remain open. The report on which this assessment is based reviewed 12 primary sources and rated the claim as largely accurate, though the extent to which the three services share a common technical foundation, and the precise scope of features offered by each version, could not be fully established from the available materials.

Citizens seeking to use the service should consult each provider's official announcements for details on access and availability.

The claim that a nationwide free AI service, "Moduui AI," debuted this month through separate launches by SK Telecom, Kakao and KT is, on balance, Mostly True.
