00:00Welcome to Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2025.

00:05This is the home to all things tech

00:06and mobile connectivity in Europe

00:08and gives us a glimpse into the future of our lives.

00:11Every technology revolution from steam engines to digital

00:16has been the driving force of human progress.

00:23AI has been the word on everybody's lips

00:25for the past few years, but 2025 is set to be the year

00:28it goes beyond our mobile phones and computers

00:31and opens up our world to new ways

00:33to plan our lives and be creative.

00:35Technology boundaries will be expanded

00:38if we can do the following things,

00:41reinvent traditional smartphone with AI,

00:45revolutionize human device interaction

00:49and reinvent PCs, tablets and wearables with AI,

00:54achieving seamless connectivity.

00:59Everywhere you look this year,

01:01people are talking about agentic AI.

01:03That's when AI acts as an agent for us

01:05to perform a task from a simple prompt.

01:08So what we start seeing for the last two years

01:11is that the AI is becoming absolutely mandatory

01:14in all the mobile devices.

01:16There are a lot of things that are going to become more

01:19and more interesting in a sense

01:21that we're gonna ease the work

01:22or reduce the number of clicks you start doing

01:24on your mobile phone.

01:26So I'm gonna show you our AI agents

01:28and you can book a restaurant with just one sentence.

01:31I want to enjoy some local food nearby.

01:33Can you book me a restaurant for three people 8 p.m. tonight?

01:38So right here we can see the AI agent is handling the task

01:42and everything is automatic.

01:44So the only thing left for us to do

01:46is just to click the reserve button and it's all done.

01:50Brilliant.

01:51Can I have a go?

01:52Can you book me a restaurant for five people

01:55at 8 p.m. today within a 15 minute drive

01:58from the conference center

02:00and with good vegetarian options.

02:02That's my dinner plan sorted.

02:03Let's see what it's like later on.

02:05Whilst agentic AI is going to help us on our mobile phones,

02:09other types of AI are going to start appearing

02:11across all sorts of devices.

02:13Some manufacturers, like Honor,

02:15hope to open up connectivity to allow all devices,

02:18no matter the brand, to talk to each other.

02:20I think for years we've all understood

02:22the value of open ecosystems,

02:24but that doesn't mean in a lot of cases

02:25people haven't been locked into one.

02:27You see this in devices all the time.

02:29I bought a new tablet in part because

02:32I could get a tablet from the same maker as my smartphone.

02:34They work well together.

02:36But when we broaden that ecosystem,

02:37I can get the best of the best innovation

02:39from multiple players and also potentially

02:42convince some people that maybe are outside

02:44my ecosystem to join mine.

02:47Now it's time to leave the Mobile World Congress ecosystem

02:50and see how the AI agent did with my dinner reservation.
