Session Description

AI for Good is not just a philanthropic ambition, but a strategic opportunity, driving innovation, commercial growth and societal impact. 

In the MENA region and elsewhere, mobile operators are uniquely positioned to shape this opportunity by building local AI infrastructure, de-risking early-stage innovation and co-leading initiatives aligned with national AI and digital transformation strategies. Ecosystem collaboration and additionality are, however, critical. Mobile operators and investors play complementary and mutually reinforcing roles in building the AI for Good ecosystem, particularly in emerging markets.  

This session aims to identify key opportunities for MNOs and investors to join forces and advance responsible, inclusive and commercially sustainable AI across emerging markets.
