The GSMA participated in the ITU Training on AI Governance and Use Cases, held in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, on 3–4 September, bringing the mobile industry perspective to discussions on AI policy, adoption and responsible innovation.
The training brought together government representatives, regulators, telecom operators, technology companies and experts to explore approaches to AI governance and practical use cases as Tajikistan advances its national AI ambitions.
