SEOUL -- Naver, South Korea's biggest internet search company, unveiled its own generative artificial intelligence service on Thursday, vowing to fight bigger global rivals like ChatGPT-developer OpenAI on its home turf. 

The company said that Cue: -- the name of the new AI service -- best understands South Korea's culture, background, regulations and laws, giving it a key advantage at home.
