Arash Ashouriha, SVP, Group Technology, Deutsche Telekom

Arash Ashouriha, SVP of group technology at Deutsche Telekom, discusses evolving the network in the AI and 6G eras – in both a sustainable and economically viable way – the convergence of compute, connectivity and sensing with AI, and why organisational and process transformation is more difficult than the technology transformation. He also explores the opportunity to charge for guaranteed outcomes rather than bits and bytes, and looks at the lessons the industry should take from 5G as it plans for 6G.
