57% of the content currently found on the Internet was generated by AI or translated with the support of one of the models of this application, according to a study by Amazon Web Services (AWS). Added to this is the adoption of this technology in various industries such as banking, making it clear that Artificial Intelligence is beginning to become widespread and with it the need for faster and more efficient connections to transmit images and text.
“In the future, AI will change everything. Everyone can use it anytime, anywhere. Mobile networks and devices will play an important role in making that happen, just as they have done to enable phones and mobile internet as a universal service. This will bring many new opportunities for the mobile industry,” Hu said on the sidelines of the Mobile Broadband Forum (MBBF 2024).
The global AI market in telecommunications had an impact of $1.45 billion in 2022, but this figure is expected to increase 28.2% by 2030, according to the consulting firm Grand View Research.
The Huawei executive has assured that to support the growing demand for the Internet, operators must converge to 5.5G networks, whose generation allows a greater density of connected devices per area, which would facilitate the mass adoption of Internet of Things devices ( IoT) in urban, industrial and domestic environments, as well as AI itself.
Hu revealed that since June this year, 60 organizations and industrial partners have already announced plans for the commercial advancement of 5.5G. Turkey is one of the nations that has said that in 2025 it will begin the implementation of 5.5G technology with the aim of improving connectivity and triggering use cases for AI and other industries.
The executive recognizes that although AI is an opportunity to detonate the financial perspective of telecommunications, options are still being evaluated to capitalize on this moment, “how can we make the most of these opportunities?”
The creation of a technological ecosystem is one of the proposals that have been put on the table for telecommunications operators to explore new services and business models.
Until now, telecommunications companies have faced challenges in capitalizing on the investments that 5G has brought with it. Only China is one of the nations that has managed to make the fifth generation of networks profitable. While in Latin America, 5G is a young network, especially in Mexico, which until three years ago began with its first deployment through a non-standalone model, that is, supported by 4G, so a fifth generation in full networks is still a challenge due to high spectrum costs.
Technology developers like Huawei seek to help telecommunications find new business cases through their applications, such as AI, but they face a challenge: matching technological development with that of connectivity.
