German mobile network goes all-in on AI
Alternatively, Deutsche Telekom offers customers selected AI services via its MeinMagenta (My Magenta) app with “Magenta AI”. These already include the AI-supported search engine from Perplexity — but apparently not the Perplexity Assistant, which is freely available as an app. The aforementioned AI tools Google Cloud AI, ElevenLabs and Picsart are also set to be added in the summer.
Deutsche Telekom has also thought about public administration and business customers. At MWC, the company is using more than 30 solutions from ten countries to show how AI can contribute to growth, efficiency and customer satisfaction. One example is an AI chatbot that helps court clerks to search and analyze legal documents saving 70 percent of time, according to Nemat.
AI keeps hackers happy

When it comes to cyber security and AI, Deutsche Telekom was apparently inspired by its competitor O2 and its AI grandma. Similar to Daisy, who drives telephone fraudsters to despair through endless conversations, the second-generation Telekom AI honeypots, based on the open source platform Beelzebub, now react as if the hacker’s request had been successful and evaluate their actions in parallel. According to Telekom, this also provides data on the attackers’ tactics and tools.
