The GSMA and IBM are partnering to support the adoption and skills of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the telecom industry.

The GSMA Foundry & IBM AI Challenge

The GSMA Foundry & IBM AI Challenge is a pioneering venture in the realm of artificial intelligence, specifically tailored to tackle pivotal opportunities and challenges confronting the mobile industry. This innovative initiative delves into various focal points within AI, encompassing network optimisation, heightened customer experiences, predictive analytics, and personalised services.

Participants in the challenge gain exclusive access to state-of-the-art AI technologies and receive expert support, all without incurring any costs. It stands as a distinctive opportunity for industry members to harness the power of AI for transformative advancements in the mobile sector.

GSMA Advance AI Training

The AI training program, the first in a new series of courses by GSMA Advance, seeks to prepare telco leaders for the AI-era and bridge skills gaps in the telecom industry, by equipping members with skills and knowledge to help effectively leverage Gen AI technologies utilizing watsonx, IBM’s AI and data platform with AI assistants. 

The training program, designed for telecoms leaders, will span a wide range of topics, from fundamental AI principles to specialized Gen AI applications in telecoms. To ensure a wide-range of participants can benefit, GSMA Advance AI Training sessions will take place at IBM offices in five locations around the world in 2024, including Dubai, London, Mexico, New York and Seoul, and an online training program will be available in multiple languages. 

A digital version of the program will be available to help address both the business strategy and technology fundamentals of Generative AI. This program will leverage IBM watsonx to deliver hands-on training designed to equip architects and developers with in-depth practical Gen AI knowledge.
