AI: Empowering Transformation in Telecommunications


ai empowering

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are among the most transformative technologies humanity has witnessed. They will also greatly impact the telecommunication industry in the next decade and – as a consequence – the way in which we communicate. The potential of AI is profound: from front-end customer interactions to better service delivery, for new services to network planning.

This exclusive workshop will discuss the potential and risks associated with complex AI technologies and the corresponding policy and regulatory challenges for the telecoms sector.
