State of AI in the Telecoms Industry

An Executive Guide to AI

By: Mark Cummings, Ph.D.

Last year at this time, any company that mentioned AI in its quarterly report saw its stock go up. Those days are over. Now enterprises are struggling to show financial returns on those early investments. There are still rewards for investment in AI, but analysts are more discriminating. Going forward, enterprises that have announced AI initiatives in previous quarters that don’t report benefits from them in the current quarter are going to see negative repercussions. Companies that report damage from AI investments are going to see even worse…

Transforming Telecommunications:
The Role of AI in Modern Networks

By: Sameh Yamany

Artificial intelligence is not only changing the game, it’s changing the rules by which the game is played. This is true of countless industries, including telecommunications. The global AI in telecommunications market size was estimated at $1.3 billion in 2023, and is expected to hit more than $40 billion by 2033. While much is said of the impact of AI on customer service and how network operators ― particularly Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) ― are leveraging it to personalize their offerings and win subscribers, the real story is how AI is reshaping the fundamentals of network connectivity and coverage…

Artificial Intelligence Drafted to
Tackle Wildfire Risks

By: Carsten Brinkschulte

Wildfires have become a regular feature of our summer news bulletins. Once again, this year has seen loss of life in California, and fires on Greek islands contributed to a water shortage that pushed Greece’s tourism sector towards crisis. And then there is the annual hit taken to efforts to manage climate change. Trees play a vital role in absorbing carbon dioxide, arguably making them the most effective force to halt or reverse climate change effects. Wildfires not only undo all the hard work of planting and growing forests but also release huge amounts of carbon dioxide and other harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere…

Reimagining How Cities Can Leverage Cloud
AI Platforms For Urban Mobility Solutions

By: Timothy Menard

When it comes to designing transit and transportation solutions that reduce traffic congestion and improve on-time arrival rates, we seem to have a problem. It seems we are focused on all the wrong things. It’s not all about building a better vehicle, or the technology that is used inside the vehicle. And it’s definitely not about building bigger or more roads and bridges. It’s about re-engineering the way in which cities move people around. This is important because personal vehicles, mass transit, ride-sharing vehicles, commercial vehicles, emergency first responders, and pedestrians are all trying to get from point A to point B in the most efficient manner…

Letter From the Editor - September 2024

By: Scott St. John, Pipeline

It’s hard to believe there is so much skepticism around Artificial Intelligence (AI). Some have gone so far to say AI “overly inflates the expectations” and “distracts” from business operations. Add to that recent, underwhelming earnings reports from a few mega-cap tech companies, and you have others going so far as to attempt to redefine AI as an “Artificial Investment.” But the reality of and momentum behind AI is undeniable, and the previously mentioned seem to be missing the point…
