System to be created for sending continuous alerts to prevent cyber fraud; advanced robots and new AI technology to be showcased at IMC
The 10th edition of the India Mobile Congress (IMC) has kicked off in Delhi. This time, Asia’s largest tech event will focus on advanced technologies in sectors such as 6G, Artificial Intelligence (AI), satellite communication, and cybersecurity.
The event will run until October 10 at the Yashobhoomi Convention Center in Delhi. It is expected to attract over 150,000 attendees from 100 countries. More than 400 companies, along with 500 startups, will showcase their innovations.
Satellite internet to bring online services to remote areas
Lauren Dreyer, Vice President of Business Operations at Starlink, stated that reaching the last person is crucial for India’s 100% digital development.
To achieve this, the government and the industry must work together rather than relying solely on traditional methods. Satellite internet can extend online services to remote areas that previously lacked internet connectivity.
Focus shifts from just internet to the AI economy
GSMA Director General Vivek Badrinath remarked that India’s digital foundation is now fully established; therefore, discussions should not be limited to internet connectivity alone.
With a user base exceeding one billion, the focus must now shift to making telecom networks smarter and more powerful to foster the AI economy and new technologies in the country.
System to be created for sending continuous alerts to prevent cyber fraud
On Tuesday, a day before the India Mobile Congress (IMC), Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with GSMA board members. During the meeting, the PM emphasized the need for a system to send continuous alert messages to protect against cyber fraud and to identify the authentic sources of deepfake and AI-generated content.
He also stressed the importance of establishing uniform global regulations for new technologies. Meanwhile, GSMA members expressed a desire to collaborate with India on the rapid expansion of 4G and 5G, robust digital infrastructure, and in the fields of 5G, 6G, AI, and satellite internet.
