Large-Scale AI in Telecom: Charting the Roadmap for Innovation, Scalability, and Enhanced Digital Experiences
12 Nov, 2025
This white paper examines how large-scale Artificial Intelligence (AI) can reshape the telecommunications landscape, focusing on the emerging potential of generative AI to enhance network performance, efficiency, and user experience in the era of 6G. At the heart of this transformation are Large Telecom Models (LTMs) — advanced AI systems specifically designed to meet the growing complexity and dynamic demands of modern communication networks.
The paper outlines how LTMs can enable intelligent automation across network management, resource allocation, and service delivery, supporting more resilient and adaptive digital infrastructure. It also considers the wider policy and governance implications, addressing regulatory, ethical, and standardisation challenges that must be met to ensure trustworthy and equitable AI deployment at scale.
By presenting a forward-looking roadmap for the integration of LTMs into telecom systems, this paper aims to inform policymakers, regulators, and industry leaders about the opportunities and requirements for AI-driven innovation in next-generation connectivity — advancing national ambitions for secure, sustainable, and inclusive digital transformation.
