The fastest growing app of all time, ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly active users in January 2023, just two months after launching. To put that into context Facebook took 4.5 years and TikTok 9 months. Whilst AI in the context of network automation has been discussed for some time, ChatGPT and Bard’s success in reaching the consumer market has created huge excitement - and concern – as to what this could mean in our everyday lives. From education to music, entertainment and coding, AI’s intrinsic value is in how it interacts with other technologies and user data. As we enter an unprecedented new Age of AI, how far will its technology and applications go?
As the exploration of extended reality and metaverse continues, 5G will be key to enabling the latest innovations in the physical, digital and virtual worlds. The customer experience in the next five years will be completely transformed – and now is the time to start exploring how we can unlock this virtual vision and bring people closer together.
The expansion of digital technologies represents an immense opportunity to create value for every industry. From entertainment, manufacturing and smart mobility, the industrial and enterprise world is facing rapidly moving challenges. Our resources are finite and we all need to do more, with less. Digitalisation, IoT and the combination of the real and the digital worlds are game changers for meeting these challenges, as we continue our evolution to Industry 4.0 and beyond.
With global markets projected to reach $35 billion by 2030, the future is bright for 5G in enterprise. The revolutionary phase of 5G is well underway as carriers combine edge and cloud capabilities with public sector innovations and enterprise use cases. 5G is powering business transformations with private networks improving efficiency, innovation and security.
