AI Can Reshape India’s Telecom Industry
Artificial intelligence is becoming more than just a tool in India’s telecom industry. A new survey by the network technology company Ciena shows that Indian telecom companies are beginning to view AI-based network services as a way to generate revenue over the next three to five years.
The survey included more than 1,200 telecom and network service companies in 12 countries. It found that 67% of companies believe that AI will become an important way to make money.
Another 27% agreed to some degree. This puts India among the countries that are most excited about AI-enabled telecom services.
