A First in Vodafone Group: Keeping Technology Human-Focused

This visionary collaboration between Vodafone Turkey and OpenAI was announced to the public at a special press conference hosted by Vodafone Türkiye Deputy Executive Board Leader Meltem Bakiler Şahin. Stating that artificial intelligence has become an integral module of daily life rather than just a business tool, Şahin conveys the company’s responsibility in this field with the following words:

“As Vodafone Turkey, we are bringing together the world’s two strongest technology brands for Vodafone customers for the first time; because we take on the responsibility of being a brand that not only develops technology but also brings it to our customers’ lives in the most meaningful way. We see artificial intelligence not only as a technology investment, but as a real experience transformation that makes our customers’ daily lives easier.”

With the Generative Artificial Intelligence and Spy-Based Artificial Intelligence solutions it has developed, the company not only smartens its internal operations and customer service processes, but also aims to make life easier by bringing this technology directly to the end user.

5G and Artificial Intelligence Combine Powers

Vodafone, which is the portable operator offering 5G services in the most countries around the world, brings its network experience from 5 continents to the Turkish market. The low latency and high information transfer rates offered by 5G infrastructure directly affect the performance of artificial intelligence applications.

Meltem Bakiler Şahin points out the importance of 5G infrastructure and artificial intelligence integration and states that users will experience the ChatGPT experience in the highest quality and without interruption. Emphasizing that global collaborations will continue, Şahin underlines their determination to transform the potential of the digital world in Türkiye into real and accessible experiences.
