A study commissioned by a U.S. telecom operator reveals that 86% of American youths aged 9 to 17 use AI, with over half using generative AI weekly. AI is becoming a routine part of digital interaction for Generation AI, reducing the appeal of AI as a standalone premium telecom feature and shifting focus to what AI-enabled experiences telecom can offer.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Generation AI is rewriting how your customers expect telecom services by embedding AI as a standard, not a premium pitch. You must pivot from selling AI as an add-on to crafting the AI-powered features they will expect every day.
