KT to supply 14,000 body cams, build AI system for police
KT, a major South Korean telecommunications provider, announced Wednesday that it has signed a 19.5 billion won ($14.1 million) contract with the National Police Agency to supply body cameras for police officers and build out digital public safety infrastructure. Over the next five years, KT will distribute approximately 14,000 body cameras to police officers working at precincts and patrol stations nationwide. This marks the first deployment of body cams, since they were officially designated as standard police equipment following a 2024 revision to the Police Officers Duty Act. As part of the project, KT will also develop an AI-powered Digital Evidence Management System. The system will support digital evidence collection by digitizing crime scenes, automatically identifying and anonymizing sensitive information, assisting investigations through AI analysis, and enabling wireless transmission of footage while preserving the original files. The company also won a related contract to supply smartphones and tablets to patrol vehicles, integrating them with the 112 emergency response system. The dual projects are expected to accelerate Korea's digital transformation in public safety. 'This project is a major milestone in the digital transformation of Korea's public safety system,' said Yoo Yong-kyu, head of KT's Enterprise Public Sector Division.

Slim Speaks on Diddy Verdict, R&B Groups and 112's 30th Anniversary
In a candid interview on Ryan Cameron Uncensored , special guest host Slim from the iconic R&B group 112 opened up about the recent Diddy trial verdict, the state of the group, and their plans for a 30th-anniversary tour. When asked about the Diddy trial, Slim didn't shy away from sharing his thoughts. 'It's unfortunate what happened with Diddy,' he said. 'That's somebody people looked up to, and there was no win for any of the victims or anybody involved in the situation. It's more like you learn something from this.' Slim emphasized the importance of reflection, adding, 'Let's get closer to God. Nothing else matters.' Slim also addressed the legacy of 112, a group that rose to fame under Diddy's Bad Boy Records in the 1990s. Despite challenges, including members parting ways, Slim and his cousin/bandmate Mike have kept the group's name alive. 'We've never cheated it, never quit from it,' Slim said. 'That's the reason why 112 is still right here, and why Live Nation is giving us this opportunity.' Reflecting on his solo career, Slim revealed that going solo wasn't his initial plan. 'I never wanted to be solo,' he admitted. 'I was put in a situation where I had to make a decision because I had bills to pay.' While he values his solo work, Slim emphasized that his heart has always been with the group. 'My initial thing was always about the group,' he said, highlighting the challenges of balancing individual ambitions within a collective. The group is gearing up for a major milestone: their 30th-anniversary tour. Starting in November, the tour will span several months, bringing fans a nostalgic celebration of their hits. 'Live Nation has given us a world tour,' Slim revealed. 'We're bringing the whole world to Room 112.' Beyond music, Slim remains active in his community. He highlighted his work with his cousin, Henry County Sheriff Reginald Scandrett, and other notable figures like Shaquille O'Neal and Julio Jones. Together, they've been involved in initiatives to support youth and recreational sports. 'We're just working in the community, working with the kids,' Slim shared. As for the future of R&B, Slim expressed hope for a resurgence of groups but acknowledged the challenges. 'In a group, you have to be selfless,' he said. 'If you have any selfish bone in your body, you're going to be the cancer of the group.' With a reflective outlook and a commitment to both music and community, Slim continues to honor 112's legacy while looking ahead to new opportunities.
