Celebrating the inaugural VEON AI First Award winners. Launched in May by Group CEO Kaan Terzioglu, the AI First Award recognizes colleagues who are putting #AI to work for our customers and our organization. The first round drew 41 nominations from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Group HQ, each scored by a Review Committee drawn from across our markets against impact, innovation, scalability and responsible AI practices. Swipe through to meet the winners in both categories, from AI powered credit scoring that extends airtime credit to millions of prepaid customers in Bangladesh to a bid governance platform saving hundreds of person hours in Pakistan. Congratulations to every winner and runner up, and to all 41 nominees. Each one shows what Better Life for All looks like in practice, whether that's credit for rural subscribers, saving energy or giving customers AI in their own language. Round 2 nominations are open across VEON. More stories to come. Dewan Md Mostafizur Rahman MD. Ziaul Haque Rabia Fatima K.M. Raihan Lamisa Sadaf Md. Moshiur Rahman Aunik Sumaiya Tasnim A.
