@LISEFUHR

Last week I shared my insights on current state of #AI & telcos in Europe at #MWC24 KTOA event:
🤖 High-quality education in Europe, but risk-averse entrepreneurship compared to Asia/USA
🌍 EU leading global AI regulation with a risk-based approach, €4bn funding opportunities. 

European telcos already use #AI solutions to:
💬 Respond to customers' demands (chatbots, diagnostics)
🛜  Automate network functions (50% in 2027)
🆕 services & products for app users and our industry: Europe keeps progressing at a good level besides trailing South Korea

We are 100 years old but younger than ever, knowing that a company only arrives at that age if serves a purpose for society.

And we have one: we are active co-creators of a new digital era.

Digital Markets Act #DMA changes are being rolled out every minute of the day. Could there be ‘unintended consequences’? (that ol’ buzzword, again). Christophe Carugati observes: Google Search in the EU now appears “a comparison of comparison websites.”
