Thierry Klein, President of Bell Labs Solutions Research at Nokia, explains how AI is moving into enterprise and mission-critical applications. One key innovation? Industrial GPTs—large language models enhanced with digital twins of real-world systems, allowing for natural language interaction, predictive analytics, and smarter decision-making across industries.
Klein emphasizes the importance of foundational research that can be adapted to different sectors, from mining to healthcare, once tested in the real world. Nokia Bell Labs focuses on developing horizontal technologies that can then be fine-tuned with partners for specific verticals. Responsible AI is a key part of their approach, prioritizing energy efficiency, fairness, and reproducibility.
