AI at MWC Barcelona

Across the MWC conference programme, our start-up event 4YFN and our partners’ programmes, we had 41 individual sessions focused on artificial intelligence. Find out more about AI's growth, impact and potential.

Our future with artificial intelligence

Generative AI (GenAI) is poised to revolutionise how we work, live and interact. However despite this, just 35% of business leaders said they were focused on the governance of AI systems and processes. ​

So how can businesses prioritise a responsible approach to AI and incorporate trust by design in everything they do? Why is it important for organizations to account for additional areas involving data risks, model and bias risks, when they begin working with GenAI? At MWC Barcelona we looked at the impact GenAI will have on your organisation, industry and business model and how you can use it to build trust in your business and deliver sustained outcomes.
