SEOUL -- South Korea's top mobile carrier SK Telecom has developed a new scene search technology which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to match keywords requested by service users in finding movie and TV drama scenes.

The new technology called "AI media recommendation" works like a web search engine. When users search for certain scenes, SK Telecom's AI analyzes movies and sorts short scene clips into categories such as a kiss scene to show matching results.​

SK Telecom said in a statement on Thursday that it would commercialize its new service by the end of this year. The company's AI is capable of recognizing scenes, seasons and landmarks shown in movies by studying thousands of films and millions of images.

"We have developed the technology to match the media consumption trend of watching a media content broken into short clips in the mobile environment," an SK Telecom official was quoted as saying. The company said its new technology would be applied to on-demand video services.
