Huawei President James Chen Delivers Keynote Speech on Innovating with AI

BARCELONA, Spain, March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — James Chen, President of Huawei Carrier Business, recently delivered a keynote speech titled “Innovating with AI: Drive Techco Value Creation to New Heights” in Barcelona, Spain. During his speech, Chen emphasized the importance of creating value through transformation, highlighting that the ultimate goal of any change is to enhance the overall worth of a company.

With the advancement of technologies like 5.5G, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI), telecommunication carriers are transitioning from traditional service providers to digital service providers. Huawei has introduced the “Five Ones” capability model to assist carriers in transforming into technology companies (techcos). This model aims to help carriers reshape their business strategies, operations, maintenance, and infrastructure, enabling them to capitalize on transformation opportunities and continuously generate value.

One Monetization Model: Differentiated Experience Monetization
As new personal service scenarios such as livestreaming, business travel, and gaming emerge, carriers must deliver unique network experiences tailored to various users and service scenarios. AI can assist carriers in recommending personalized service packages, adjusting network experiences dynamically, and showcasing real-time improvements to users. Over 35 carriers worldwide have adopted experience monetization models based on rate and experience-based charging.

One Service Entry: Home AI Services
Homes are evolving into intelligent spaces, and carriers can offer personalized services by establishing intelligent home service portals. By upgrading to AI service providers, carriers can provide services that support multi-modal interactions. For example, carriers in China and South Korea have launched home AI hubs that seamlessly connect to smart home devices, enabling quick access to intelligent applications based on user intents.

One-Stop Cloud Platform: B2B Services
To take advantage of digital transformation opportunities in various industries, carriers need to provide a cloud platform that supports multi-service convergence. This platform should include features like a cloud marketplace and intelligent code generation to facilitate rapid application development and innovation. A carrier in Northern Africa successfully used a multi-cloud platform to assist enterprises in embracing digital transformation across multiple industries.

One Telecom Foundation Model: General AI Agents and Digital Twins
AI technologies based on foundation models can enhance carriers’ operations and maintenance efficiency. By creating digital twins of networks and services, carriers can convert data into actionable insights and embed AI technologies into routine operations and maintenance tasks. This approach has been successful in reducing network fault troubleshooting time to less than 30 minutes.

One Synergetic Architecture: Infrastructure for Collaboration
In the era of AI, communication infrastructure must integrate networking, storage, cloud, and computing resources. An architecture that supports intelligent connectivity, cloud services, and collaboration among resource elements is crucial. This architecture enables carriers to provide reliable connectivity, on-demand cloud services, and seamless resource integration for optimal performance.

In conclusion, James Chen emphasized that leveraging AI technologies will accelerate carriers’ transformation into techcos. Huawei is committed to partnering with customers to drive innovation in business, operations, and infrastructure, creating greater value and seizing opportunities in the AI era. By embracing leading products and solutions, carriers can stay ahead of the curve and thrive in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
