Dr Khalid Basit attended the Mobile World Congress 2024 in Barcelona, Spain, from 26th-29th February 2024, where he participated in a GSMA-sponsored panel discussion titled ‘Is 2024 the year of the AI-Centric Telco?’ The discussion was wide-ranging but focused on the following points:  The role of the C-Suite in bringing AI into the workplace, not to reduce headcount but rather to augment and support full-time employees. The need for reskilling and upskilling. Critical to this is the building of a digital mindset that views activities within the digital lens. With the proliferation of deepfakes, the need for Responsible AI and how to regulate the development of Responsible AI. Thanks to Mojca Cargo for inviting Dr Khalid Basit to the SBS head of Department Sahar Awan and Dean SBS for their support. #AI #Fintech #SBS #Education #Technology #Criticalthinking #IBA #Faculty #Paneldiscussion
