Salesforce is moving to close the gap between slick AI demos and operational reality by stress-testing agents inside simulated business environments before they ever touch production. Salesforce introduced CRMArenaPro (a digital twin for enterprise workflows), an Agentic Benchmark for CRM (to compare agents across business-centric metrics), and new Account Matching capabilities (to unify records and clean underlying data). The Agentic Benchmark for CRM evaluates accuracy, cost, speed, trust and safety, and environmental sustainability. Stand up a sandbox that mirrors production and run agents through end-to-end scenarios with synthetic-but-realistic data. Tighten OAuth and third-party risk controls before expanding agent privileges
TELUS moved beyond experiments to enterprise adoption: 57,000 employees actively use gen AI, more than 13,000 custom AI solutions are in production, and 47 large-scale solutions have generated over $90 million in benefits to date. Time savings exceed 500,000 hours, driven by an average of roughly 40 minutes saved per AI interaction. The scale is notable: Fuel iX now processes on the order of 100 billion tokens per month, a signal that the platform is embedded in day-to-day work rather than isolated to innovation teams. TELUS designed for trust from the start: its Fuel iXpowered customer support tool achieved ISO 31700-1 Privacy by Design certification, a first for a gen AI solution.
MWC25 Las Vegas is the premier North American event for CIOs and IT leaders, offering real-world insights on 5G, AI, IoT, private networks, and edge computing. With industry leaders from IBM, Qualcomm, T-Mobile, and more, the event focuses on actionable strategies for enterprise transformation.
This article explores the challenges data analysts face due to time-consuming data wrangling, hindering strategic analysis. It highlights how fragmented data, quality issues, and compliance demands contribute to this bottleneck. The solution proposed is AI-powered automation for tasks like data extraction, cleansing, and reporting, freeing analysts. Implementing AI offers benefits such as increased efficiency, improved decision-making, and reduced risk, but requires careful planning. The article concludes that embracing AI while prioritizing data security and privacy is crucial for staying competitive.
Kyndryls’ three-year, $2.25 billion plan signals an aggressive push to anchor AI-led infrastructure modernization in India’s digital economy and to scale delivery across regulated industries. The $2.25 billion commitment, anchored by the Bengaluru AI lab and tied to governance and skilling programs, should accelerate enterprise-grade AI and hybrid modernization across India. Expect more co-created reference architectures, deeper public-sector engagements, and tighter integration with network and cloud partners through 2026. For telecom and large enterprises, this is a timely opportunity to industrialize AI, modernize core platforms, and raise operational resilience provided programs are governed with clear metrics, strong security, and a pragmatic path from pilot to production.
AstraZeneca, Ericsson, Saab, SEB, and Wallenberg Investments have launched Sferical AI to build and operate a sovereign AI supercomputer that anchors Sweden’s next phase of industrial digitization. Sferical AI plans to deploy two NVIDIA DGX Super PODs based on the latest DGX GB300 systems in Linkping. The installation will combine 1,152 tightly interconnected GPUs, designed for fast training and fine-tuning of large, complex models. Sovereign infrastructure addresses data residency, IP protection, and regulatory alignment, while reducing exposure to public cloud capacity swings. For Swedish and European firms navigating GDPR, NIS2, and sector-specific rules like DORA in finance, a trusted, high-performance platform can accelerate AI adoption without compromising compliance.
Apple’s fall software updates introduce admin-grade switches to govern how corporate users access ChatGPT and other external AI services across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Apple is enabling IT teams to explicitly allow or block the use of an enterprise-grade ChatGPT within Apple Intelligence, with a design that treats OpenAI as one of several possible external providers. Practically, that means admins can set policy to route requests either to Apples own stack or to a sanctioned third-party provider, and disable external routing entirely when required.
India’s AI oversight for telecom is moving from recommendations to implementation, with policy review and technical workstreams running in parallel. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has issued recommendations on leveraging artificial intelligence and big data in telecom, including the creation of an independent statutory authority for AI governance. The proposed Artificial Intelligence and Data Authority of India (AIDAI) is envisioned to promote responsible AI development and regulate sectoral use cases. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has initiated projects with research bodies and universities focused on how to ensure and test AI trustworthiness.
Nvidia has reportedly paused production activities tied to its H20 data center AI GPUs for China as Beijing intensifies national-security scrutiny, clouding a long-anticipated reentry into the market. Multiple suppliers have been asked to suspend work related to the H20, Nvidia’s made-for-China accelerator designed to meet U.S. export rules. The pause arrives shortly after Washington signaled it would grant export licenses for the H20, reversing an earlier halt that triggered unsold inventory write downs at Nvidia. The H20 is Nvidia’s linchpin for retaining a foothold in the worlds second-largest AI market; any prolonged disruption has material revenue and ecosystem consequences.
Fresh polling signals rising public concern that AI could upend employment, destabilize politics, and strain social and energy systems. A recent Reuters/Ipsos survey of 4,446 U.S. adults found that 71% worry AI will permanently displace too many workers. Seventy-seven percent of respondents fear AI will fuel political instability if hostile actors exploit the technology. The poll also shows broad worry about AIs indirect costs: 66% are concerned about AI companions displacing human relationships, and 61% are concerned about the technology’s energy footprint. Bottom line: Public concern is high, and that increases the cost of missteps.
According to telecom experts, 6G communication is expected to be path-breaking in its offerings. Artificial intelligence (AI) is being portrayed as the prime contributor to the enormous success of 6G networks. AI is set to play a pivotal role in shaping 6G to be relevant and rewarding for businesses and individuals. Several other digital technologies gel well to present 6G as the game-changing phenomenon in the communication world. One noteworthy facet is that the recent concept of semantic communication is to be elegantly realised through 6G networks. In this AI-first 6G book, we have elucidated how the predictive, generative, and agentic capabilities of AI are to make 6G communication penetrative, pervasive and persuasive too.
The telecom sector once hailed AI as a game-changer, but is it delivering? This article explores why many operators report low ROI on AI tools, and how legacy systems, cultural resistance, and regulatory hurdles stall adoption. Despite challenges, AI shows targeted promise in predictive maintenance, fraud detection, and 5G network slicing.
