LG CNS and Bank of Korea test AI-powered digital currency payments

LG CNS and the Bank of Korea have demonstrated an automated payment system for digital currencies powered by agentic AI, Yonhap News reported. The company tested a payment infrastructure on a digital currency platform that uses deposit tokens, in which an AI agent autonomously handled product searches, purchase decisions, and payments. The demonstration is part of the Bank of Korea's Project Hangang, which has been ongoing since last year.
