Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

Nokia Software is spearheading the development of artificial intelligence solutions in the field of telecommunications. The company aims to seize the opportunities of 5G networks with its Telco AI: a powerful artificial intelligence tool for telecom operators that allows a simultaneous optimization of network services and the business behind it. As Nokia Software’s Mikko Laine is presenting the solution to a potential client, the latter one brings up potentially significant concerns with Telco AI that Laine has not fully thought through: how to execute an organizational transformation to fully exploit Telco AI’s capabilities, and how to prevent skill deterioration and losing control over the process to the intelligent automation.
