Panel Discussion
How will the development of AI large language models (LLMs) impact telcos? Last year we heard strong arguments for and against telcos developing their own LLMs. However, these are now starting to emerge. Earlier this year, SKT, Deutsche Telekom, e&, Singtel, and SoftBank Corp. announced the formation of a joint venture to develop specialised LLMs for telcos, operating across different languages and supporting a customer base of 1.3 billion people. So what is the LLM opportunity for telcos? How will they be developed, implemented and monetised?
