It’s a wrap!
A big shout-out goes to Sebastian Arens, Felix Reinhardt, Birgit Klein, and Benedikt Peckelsen for pulling me in front of a camera! We’ve produced a proper video edit of my talk about generative AI, a topic I’ve discussed countless times in various internal variations within Deutsche Telekom. This video, clocking in at around 90 minutes, turned out to be the „extended“ version of those talks.
At Sales & Service and Operational Excellence, we’re not just focused on delivering innovative solutions to our customers—though that’s certainly expected of us. We also prioritize supporting our colleagues internally with top-notch know-how, enabling them to excel as we look ahead into the future. For this crucial mission, „AI Enablement“ is a key factor, and it’s something the teams around Peter Meier van Esch take very seriously.
Getting everyone on board with AI is paramount. That’s precisely the aim of videos like the one produced by our amazing colleagues at the „Sales Enablement Media Team.“ Their work helps us all rally behind the colossal task of embracing the age of AI with a clear mind and sharp wit—avoiding both naive optimism and blatant negativity.
Today, we have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to set the rules for how AI will play out. Technology is not an unstoppable force of nature; we all have a part to play in shaping its trajectory. What this requires is knowledge and insights. I would be thrilled if videos like the one we just created could contribute significantly to that vital goal.
