Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Big Data in Telecommunication Sector

Initiative overview

The impact of AI is not limited to only telecom sector. AI has the potential to impact a wide range of sectors, including healthcare, finance, transportation, education, agriculture and many others. In order to create a roadmap for AI, emerging technology and its use in the communication sector, vide letter dated 6th June 2019 (Annexure-I), the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) sought the recommendation of TRAI. In the Consultation Paper (CP) on "Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Big Data in the telecommunication sector", wide-ranging issues covering all sectors were included. As the AI technology is still evolving, it took time to examine and bring out the multiple aspects of AI/ML in the telecommunication and other sectors by studying various international practices, which are also in the nascent stage.
