Telekom launches Magenta AI Call Assistant, a voice-activated, network-based AI feature that provides real-time translation, live call summaries, and contextual answering, with plans to add on-call actions in the future; initial rollout targets Germany and supports up to 50 languages over the coming year.

As a companion to the call assistant, Telekom will debut an AI glasses prototype at Mobile World Congress, shown as a design study to demonstrate capabilities using available hardware and AI infrastructure.

Telekom positions itself as a German AI leader, collaborating with ElevenLabs for the new speech assistant and building on prior AI-powered devices, including a Magenta-branded phone leveraging Perplexity AI technology.

Intelligent Home routers will host edge-processed AI to learn user habits, coordinate devices, and resolve connectivity issues while preserving privacy, with optional cloud voice service integration.

The Intelligent Home concept centers on router-embedded AI agents that locally process data to manage devices and preserve privacy, with optional cloud connectivity when needed.

Some questions remain about user reception and data usage, given past concerns with AI in consumer services, and there is uncertainty about the agentive capabilities until testing is possible.

Development involves undisclosed partners; Telekom cites collaboration with leading European and American firms, but specific partners have not been disclosed.

Industrial AI Cloud with NVIDIA, together with a new Business Cloud, will deliver sovereign European AI computing in data centers, complemented by the European Edge Continuum for cross-border edge computing.

Digital sovereignty through European cloud solutions, including the Industrial AI Cloud and Business Cloud, plus the European Edge Continuum for cross-border edge computing.

Privacy and data handling emphasize EU-compliant rules, active user initiation of listening, and on-request deletion of recordings, with data processing occurring in the EU.

Reimagined Network vision envisions AI-native networks that interpret user intent and dynamically allocate resources under a Zero Bit – Zero Watt principle, powered by 6G research.

Potential benefits include clearer understanding for patients and customers, improved everyday task communication, while concerns about language learning and cultural competency are acknowledged but not seen as replacing AI tools.
