Deutsche Telekom and T-Mobile US are launching the fourth edition of the T Challenge today. We are looking for solutions on how artificial intelligence can improve the management of the network and the customer experience.
The international competition offers participants a platform to present their innovative ideas.
Claudia Nemat, Member of the Board of Management for Technology and Innovation at Deutsche Telekom, emphasizes the importance of the competition:
“Every year, the T Challenge sends a signal for innovative strength. Now we want to use artificial intelligence in an innovative way. How, for example, does AI help us to better control our network? How can it improve the customer experience? That’s what we’ll explore in the next T-Challenge. Together with T-Mobile US. It is important to act responsibly. We’re curious to see how creative and talented people are taking AI to the next level.”
To ensure that the ideas are used as far as possible, the winners will have the opportunity to further develop their solutions together with experts from Deutsche Telekom and T-Mobile US.
In addition, the following prize money is awarded for the best innovations: The first prize will receive 150,000 euros, the second 75,000 euros and the third 35,000 euros. The special prizes for the most sustainable and most ethical solution as well as the most interesting presentation are endowed with 25,000 euros each.
