On December 9, 2025, OpenAI announced a new collaboration with Deutsche Telekom. This agreement aims to bring advanced artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to millions of people across Europe. At the same time, it will help Deutsche Telekom teams use the best tools from OpenAI. Deutsche Telekom serves more than 261 million mobile customers worldwide. Its global reach will now be combined with OpenAI's research to make AI more useful in everyday life.
New AI Experiences for Customers
Together with OpenAI, Deutsche Telekom will create simple, multilingual, privacy-conscious AI tools. These will help people with communication, learning, and everyday tasks. The first versions will be launched in 2026. OpenAI's ChatGPT already has more than 800 million weekly users. This allows organizations such as Deutsche Telekom to quickly deliver new AI products to a vast audience.
Deutsche Telekom will deploy ChatGPT Enterprise across the entire company. This will give employees secure access to OpenAI's best tools. It will improve customer service, streamline workflows, and accelerate innovation. The company will also begin using AI more extensively in network operations and employee assistants. The collaboration as a whole will thus move AI toward greater usefulness, safety, and accessibility across Europe.
