Louis Powell, AI Initiatives, Engagement & Technical Lead at GSMA, announces the Open Telco AI initiative at MWC Barcelona 2025, a collaborative effort with AT&T and Deutsche Telekom to develop "telco grade AI" that addresses current limitations in understanding telecommunications standards and performing deployable root cause analysis at scale. The initiative focuses on benchmarking performance metrics, building appropriate datasets, and training specialized models through a community-driven approach featuring competitions, hackathons, and code sharing, inviting operators, vendors, academics, researchers, and startups to join at gsma.com/opentelcoai.

Peter Jarich, Head of GSMA Intelligence at GSMA, discusses how operators have gained clarity on AI's applications in their networks, especially with generative AI's arrival.

Henry Calvert, Head of Networks at GSMA, leads the Open Gateway initiative to advance network APIs across the telecommunications sector, with 106 signatories including 74 operator groups representing 284 networks. The initiative now covers nearly 80% of global mobile connections, focusing initially on anti-fraud and authentication while expanding into communications quality and connectivity insights for 2025.
