Barcelona, Spain, Feb. 28 (Xinhua) -- In an interview with Xinhua News Agency during the 2024 Mobile World Congress, President of the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) said that this year's conference shows the potential for technological change and the need to promote technological development through global cooperation for the benefit of all mankind.
The Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) is the host of Mobile World Congress. Grad said that this year's conference will focus on 5G technology and artificial intelligence, as well as the impact of related technologies on vertical industries. He said that 60 percent of the attendees were from outside the mobile communications industry, including aviation, automotive, healthcare and manufacturing, and all of them were trying to apply the technology to their products to increase sales, which was what made the conference unique.
Talking about global cooperation in the era of artificial intelligence, Grad said that Mobile World Congress is a platform for communications companies and technology companies from all over the world to come together to showcase innovations, make connections and expand business. He noted that partnerships are important in complex technology areas.
In addition, Greid called for bridging the digital divide. He said that "no one is missing" is very important because when humans enter the world of AI, the risk is that the chasm will become wider, and the gap between those who know and use AI and those who do not know and use AI will be even greater. "We want to build a more inclusive world where everyone has equal access to technology. ”
Nearly 300 Chinese companies participated in the exhibition this year. Grad said that he visited the booths of many Chinese companies, and the products on display were absolutely top-notch. Enterprises such as China Mobile, China Telecom, and Huawei are all leading the way, and the cutting-edge technologies and products they bring are impressive. He emphasized that China has made a significant contribution to the deployment of 5G, and that China is investing a lot of energy, money and talent to develop new technologies such as artificial intelligence, which is playing an active role in nurturing the next generation of digital innovation.
Lara Dewar, chief marketing officer of the association, also said in an interview with reporters that a large number of innovations are emerging in China, and it is very important for Chinese companies to participate in the Mobile World Congress. De Waal believes that coordination and cooperation in the field of technology, especially in the field of artificial intelligence, is essential so that there are more opportunities for the benefit of people and the planet, so "it is very important that we continue to collaborate with each other".
