How AI is Reshaping Telecommunication Industry in 2024?

Gen AI entered 2024 with some reservations. It is, for example, that 85% of the executives were reluctant to spend large budgets on AI initiatives and some dismissed it as "a hammer looking for a problem". Despite reservations, over the previous year AI in telecom moved from proof of concept to real deployments. AI is rapidly transforming the telecommunication industry in customer experience, network management, and other things. Quite a few of the legacy telecom majors as well as small visionaries are driving AI deployment in telecom.

• For instance, in September of 2024, T-Mobile collaborated with OpenAI to develop IntentCX, an artificial intelligence platform that uses real-time data to understand and proactively solve customers' needs. The system anticipates customers' intent and offers customized solutions, resolves issues, and even acts on behalf of customers. Through billions of customer interaction points of data, the system is made to maximize the success of each customer journey and provide instant, personalized assistance.
