Responsible AI Maturity Roadmap

GSMA says this initiative is designed to help the telecom sector, projected by McKinsey to potentially generate up to USD 680 billion over the next 15-20 years from AI, adopt the technology responsibly. The roadmap, developed with input from McKinsey and a group of operators, provides a structured framework for operators to evaluate their AI practices and set future goals. It offers tools for measuring progress and adhering to best practices in areas such as fairness, transparency, and privacy.

Responsible AI

The Director General of the GSMA said: “The transformative potential of AI has long been apparent, but its integration into our work and lives must be done responsibly and transparently for it to be truly effective and sustainable. This roadmap will now empower more MNOs to embrace AI, knowing that, in line with the whole sector, they are doing so responsibly and ethically.”

“Responsible AI is the right way to explore and unlock the many opportunities the technology presents, and the telecom industry is proud to lead the way as the first sector to commit to this approach – we hope others will follow our example.”
