Telco AI: State of the Market, Q2 2024
AI in telecoms – in theory and in action
AI is a transformative technology, but it is important to look beyond the hype and identify the parts of the innovation cycle that matter most. How do they translate into commercial activity and possible changes in corporate strategy?
GSMA Intelligence is launching this research series to investigate how telcos are putting AI to use, how they are innovating and what they (and supporting ecosystem players) need to be thinking about as they continue their AI journeys. The series will look at strategy and technology planning, AI sustainability, and the results of a benchmarking exercise establishing how advanced telcos are in their adoption and use of AI.
This first edition explores the expanding use of AI in telecoms, examining both core AI and genAI. It highlights key use cases, contrasts AI with genAI adoption, and delves into the increasing role of large language models (LLMs) in driving industry advancements.

Reshaping networks: from a 5G core to an agentic core
Building on previous reports on the evolution of core networks in the 5G-Advanced and AI eras, this report explores what agentic AI means for the mobile core. For the mobile core, most key objectives are unchanged: building future-proof networks that can support a growing and diverse range of endpoints (users, devices and applications) while efficiently delivering intelligent services at scale – all underpinned by a monetisation imperative. But new dynamics have entered the space, from the rise of agentic AI to the sharp focus on sovereignty and mission-critical connectivity. As such, a fresh review of the evolution of mobile core networks is needed.
The AI era calls for a more strategic approach to capex for operators
GSMA Intelligence's Chart of the Month is a visual way of telling an important story in the mobile and broader tech ecosystem. From the shape and size of markets to trends in consumer behaviour, we aim to provide food for thought through informative visuals designed to bring colour and clarity to complex issues facing the industry. This edition looks at capex trends among big tech companies compared to telecoms operators.
