More widely known digital assistants include Amazon's Alexa or Google Home, which continue to implement additional skills to be applied in more and more use cases. But even though the before mentioned AI virtual digital assistants are a first step into that direction, telcos need to come up with a strong strategy and knowledge base to understand and utilize AI.
