Mobile World Congress (MWC) has consistently been a pivotal event for the telecommunications industry, showcasing the latest innovations and setting the stage for future trends. Recent editions, including MWC 2024 and MWC 2025, have been no exception, with artificial intelligence (AI) taking center stage alongside significant B2B news and announcements.
AI Takes the Spotlight
One of the most prominent trends at MWC in recent years has been the rise of AI, particularly in the form of AI-powered smartphones. Telekom, for instance, unveiled a new "AI phone" that generated considerable buzz. Claudia Nemat, a board member of Deutsche Telekom AG, showcased the device, highlighting the company's commitment to integrating AI into its mobile offerings.
The introduction of AI phones raises fundamental questions about the future of the mobile industry. How will companies position themselves to leverage the power of AI? What new user experiences will emerge? These are the questions that industry leaders are grappling with as they navigate this rapidly evolving landscape. "AI is not just a feature; it's becoming the core of the mobile experience," one analyst noted at the conference.
