What has Telenor Group done to contribute to the green and digital transition? How does a Norwegian state-owned telecom company empower the societies in their markets? What are the most significant opportunities for responsible AI? What is the industry's responsibility, and what is needed from the government to meet concerns on the risks and downsides of AI? What is the largest tech companies' role in shaping the future?
With Sigve Brekke, President & CEO of Telenor Group, we answer these questions and discuss what it means for a telecom company to have ethics and sustainability as an integrated part of the business model. Before Sigve Brekke was appointed President and CEO of Telenor Group, he was the Executive Vice President and Head of Telenor Asia Region. He also has experience from political life as State Secretary (Deputy Minister) of Defence in Norway.
