Globe Spotlights AI-Powered Energy Efficiency at Mobile World Congress 2026

As artificial intelligence rapidly expands across industries, a new question is emerging: how much energy will it consume, and how can telecommunication companies manage energy demand responsibly? This was one of the key topics discussed at the GSMA Mobile World Congress 2026, where Globe joined leaders from the energy and technology sectors, including Google, ARGIA Green, Schneider Electric, and the International Energy Agency (IEA), to examine the environmental impact of AI and the role companies can play in keeping digital growth sustainable.

Globe Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer Yoly Crisanto said that innovation must move forward responsibly as new technologies scale. “Artificial intelligence is reshaping how economies grow and how people live and work. The challenge is making sure that this progress strengthens, rather than undermines, the global shift towards a sustainable future. We are focused on using technology in ways that make energy use more efficient, help build a more climate transition-ready digital infrastructure, and expand renewable energy. This is especially pertinent with threats to the supply of imported fossil fuel. The transition to more energy efficient technologies paired with renewable energy reduces exposure to fossil fuel price increases and improves energy security for the company’s operations.”

Globe Highlights Modernizing Cybersecurity Using AI at Mobile World Congress 2026

Globe underscored the need for telecommunications operators to modernize security practices and prepare their organizations to scale artificial intelligence (AI) responsibly as the technology rapidly reshapes industries and economies worldwide. Speaking at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026 in Barcelona, Globe Chief AI Officer and Chief Information Security Officer Anton Bonifacio joined global technology leaders in discussions on cybersecurity resilience and the evolving innovation ecosystem.

Bonifacio emphasized the need to modernize security practices within telecommunications networks, noting that IT and network security can no longer be treated separately.  As AI becomes more deeply embedded across these networks and digital services, organizations must rethink how they protect systems and infrastructure to keep pace with rapidly advancing technologies.
