Orange Group CIO on why speed is a matter of survival
Orange Group CIO Koen Vermeulen is in no doubt about the impact of AI on the telecoms sector. Rather than viewing it merely as a tool to accelerate digital transformation, Vermeulen discusses how AI represents a force that can change how industries operate.
He explores how and where AI is already being adopted within Orange’s IT organization, as well as the potential of AI to fundamentally transform a telco's software development lifecyle.
