Wave of Gen-AI at MWC2024
The Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 offered a vibrant representation of the latest in tech innovation, with "Gen-AI" taking centre stage and being this years’ “buzzword”, signalling a paradigm shift from the previous year's buzz around the "metaverse." As the event echoed back to the bustling energy of pre-covid days, the solvatio team delved deep into the discussions that are shaping the future of technology, particularly in the realm of AI.
Microsoft's Strategic Innovations
A highlight from the event was observing our partner Microsoft make significant strides in the telecommunications sector with their Azure for Operators suite. The integration of a GitHub Gen-AI Copilot for TM FORUM OPEN APIs particularly caught our eye, illustrating the practical applications of Gen-AI in enhancing operational efficiencies and fostering innovation within the industry.
The Luminary of the Show: Ameca
Among the vast scope of innovations, the humanoid robot "Ameca," showcased by Etisalat, stood out, demonstrating the profound capabilities of Gen-AI in breathing life into robotics, thereby capturing the imagination and curiosity of attendees.
