Deutsche Telekom, OpenAI team up on Europe-focused AI tools
Deutsche Telekom has signed a multi-year deal with OpenAI to build AI services tailored to European users and to roll out the company’s enterprise tools inside its own operations.
The partners plan multilingual consumer and business applications focused on communication and everyday productivity, with pilots scheduled to start in Q1 2026. Deutsche Telekom says it wants to offer “privacy-first” AI to millions of customers and will be among the first to test an alpha-version OpenAI model. The operator will also deploy ChatGPT Enterprise across the company to support internal work, customer service and more automated networks.
Deutsche Telekom describes the agreement as a strategic collaboration rather than a standard supplier contract, with both sides framing it as a way to shape how AI is used in Europe. Separately, the operator is working with Fraunhofer IAIS and Kliniken der Stadt Köln on AI agents for hospital emergency departments, where a prototype system turns spoken medical information into structured visual records for later use in treatment.
