"AI in telcos – build or buy?" is one of the most critical questions shaping the future of telecommunications.

As operators accelerate their digital transformation journeys, deciding whether to develop AI capabilities in-house or leverage external solutions has far-reaching consequences. This strategic choice influences innovation speed, cost structures, talent acquisition, scalability, and ultimately, long-term competitiveness in a rapidly evolving landscape.

During this webinar, Cristina Moura from MEO will share her perspective on navigating the build vs buy dilemma. The session will provide a comprehensive view of:

• Pros and cons of building AI platforms internally versus adopting off-the-shelf vendor solutions.

• Key decision criteria telcos should evaluate when shaping their AI strategy.

• Risks and challenges associated with each approach, from talent requirements to vendor lock-in.

• AI the MEO Way – insights into MEO’s own AI journey, including practical lessons, successes, and ongoing developments.

This webinar is designed to help telecom professionals better understand the trade-offs and opportunities in AI adoption, while offering a real-world operator perspective from MEO.
