Orange has expanded its partnership with OpenAI to localize AI models for underrepresented African languages like Wolof and Pulaar. These models will run on Orangeโ€™s secure, sovereign infrastructure, ensuring privacy and regulatory compliance. With applications in health, education, and digital equity, Orangeโ€™s Responsible AI strategy aims to make generative AI more accessible for Africaโ€™s rural populations and especially for women, who face digital and language-based barriers.
Telefรณnica Tech has partnered with Perplexity to launch Perplexity Enterprise Pro, a secure AI-powered search tool for businesses in Spain. Designed for enterprise use, the platform enables advanced, real-time knowledge discovery, integrates SSO and SOC2 protections, and respects data privacy. Telefรณnica offers pilots and full professional services to support implementationโ€”targeting productivity boosts in sectors like healthcare, finance, and law.
Predicting AI’s future is difficult, but its impact on work and life is certain. Many organizations are hesitant, “nibbling around the corners” instead of embracing transformative applications. This slow adoption, however, has allowed us to better understand and utilize large language models. The AI revolution mirrors the steam engine transformation, with organizations needing to integrate AI to stay competitive. The biggest winners will be those that successfully integrate AI, gaining a significant advantage. The most significant transformation will be in knowledge management, how organizations make decisions and leverage collective intelligence.
Nvidiaโ€™s Helix Parallelism enables LLMs to process encyclopedia-sized contexts in real-time. Inspired by DNA structures, Helix uses KV, tensor, and expert parallelism to break memory limits. Running on Nvidiaโ€™s Blackwell GPUs, it boosts concurrency 32x while shrinking latency, a leap for legal AI, coding copilots, and enterprise-scale agents.
Virgin Media O2โ€™s multi-year transformation redefines UK telecoms with digitalization, AI, and customer-first thinking. From legacy network upgrades and automation to AI tools like Daisy and Digital Twins, the operatorโ€™s strategy focuses on trust, reliability, and sustainable growth.
OpenAIโ€™s Stargate projectโ€”a $500B plan to build global AI infrastructureโ€”is facing delays in the U.S. due to rising tariffs and economic uncertainty. While the first phase in Texas slows, OpenAI is shifting focus internationally with โ€œOpenAI for Countries,โ€ a new initiative to co-build sovereign AI data centers worldwide. Backed by Oracle and SoftBank, Stargate is designed to support massive AI workloads and reshape global compute power distribution.
AI agents are transforming enterprise operations, acting as autonomous digital coworkers that enhance productivity, reduce costs, and support strategic decision-making. With a projected 327% growth by 2027, enterprises must adopt AI agents to remain competitive in an AI-first economy.
Huaweiโ€™s new AI chip, the Ascend 910D, has raised concerns about Nvidiaโ€™s China business, but analysts say it lacks the global performance, ecosystem, and efficiency to compete with Nvidiaโ€™s H100 GPU. Built on 7nm technology with limited software support, Huaweiโ€™s chip may gain local traction but poses no major international threatโ€”yet.
There’s immense pressure for companies in every industry to adopt AI, but not everyone has the in-house expertise, tools, or resources to understand where and how to deploy AI responsibly. Bloomberg hopes this taxonomy โ€“ when combined with red teaming and guardrail systems โ€“ helps to responsibly enable the financial industry to develop safe and reliable GenAI systems, be compliant with evolving regulatory standards and expectations, as well as strengthen trust among clients.
Confidencial.io will unveil its unified AI data governance platform at RSAC 2025. Designed to secure unstructured data in AI workflows, the system applies object-level Zero Trust encryption and seamless compliance with NIST/ISO frameworks. It protects AI pipelines and agentic systems from sensitive data leakage while supporting safe, large-scale innovation.
NVIDIA has launched a major U.S. manufacturing expansion for its next-gen AI infrastructure. Blackwell chips will now be produced at TSMCโ€™s Arizona facilities, with AI supercomputers assembled in Texas by Foxconn and Wistron. Backed by partners like Amkor and SPIL, NVIDIA is localizing its AI supply chain from silicon to system integrationโ€”laying the foundation for โ€œAI factoriesโ€ powered by robotics, Omniverse digital twins, and real-time automation. By 2029, NVIDIA aims to manufacture up to $500B in AI infrastructure domestically.
In AI in Telecom: Strategic Themes, Maturity, and the Road Ahead, we explore how AI has shifted from buzzword to backbone for global telecom leaders.
