Designit: How Telcos Can Unlock Long-Term Value Through AI A global survey by Designit indicates that telco operators are making mistakes in AI adoption by prioritizing hasty implementation and viewing AI solely as a cost-cutting tool. The research highlights that many telcos fail to prioritize organizational redesign, which is crucial for effectively integrating AI and bridging the gap between promised benefits and actual delivery. True long-term value from AI will be achieved by telcos that treat it as an opportunity to fundamentally redesign their operations, rather than just automating existing processes.
