「4+1」策略和向自主人工智慧基礎設施模式的過渡將帶來15億美元的效率提升。

本報告探討了自動化、自主網路（AN）和人工智慧/生成式人工智慧在BCE電信業務中的作用。其目標是闡明這些技術的應用如何降低成本並產生收入，並找出透過這些投資實現利潤率顯著提升的通訊業者。

BCE是加拿大最大的通訊業者，2024年營收達178億加元，略高於Rogers（150億加幣）和Telus（149億加幣）。雖然其息稅前利潤（EBIT）遠高於全球平均水平，負債資本比率（1.76倍）和資產報酬率（ROA：4.42%）在全球處於中等水平。儘管BCE在加拿大已是一家老牌通訊業者，但加拿大擁有蓬勃發展的有線電視行業和競爭激烈的監管機構，因此BCE並未止步不前，多年來透過多次收購來增強自身競爭力。例如，2017年以39億加元收購MTS以拓展其在加拿大西部的業務；2013年以34億加元收購Astral Media以進軍媒體和廣告業務；以及計劃於2025年第三季以約50億加元收購Ziply Fiber以進入美國西北電信市場。該公司員工人數多年來持續下降，從2011年第四季的55,300人減少到2025年第四季的38,700人。 BCE持續致力於提升營運效率以提高盈利。自動化和人工智慧在公司目前的策略規劃中扮演著重要角色。

為了保護市場佔有率並捍衛加拿大相對於美國超大規模資料中心業者的資料主權，BCE正從傳統通訊業者轉型為專注於人工智慧的基礎設施供應商。隨著貝爾人工智慧架構（Bell AI Fabric）的建立和Cohere公司North平台的部署，該公司計劃透過其子公司Ateko，將其內部自動化研發成果轉化為一項專案收入來源。人工智慧解決方案帶來的31%的收入成長顯示企業已對此表現出初步興趣，但其對獲利能力的長期影響取決於BCE能否成功地將這些工具整合到其現有業務中。一個值得關注的關鍵因素是，該公司能否成功地將其「基於意圖的自主性」擴展到5G試點計畫之外，並實現其到2028年削減15億美元成本的目標。

BCE is Canada's largest telco: its $17.8 billion in 2024 revenues edged out Rogers ($15.0B) and Telus ($14.9B). The company's operating (EBIT) profit margins are much higher than global averages, but its debt-to-equity ratio (1.76x) and return-on-assets (4.42%) put BCE in the middle of the global pack. The company is Canada's "incumbent" telco but the country has a vigorous cable sector and a pro-competition regulator, so BCE has not stood still. It has made a number of acquisitions over the years to improve its position. These include: MTS in 2017 (for $3.9B) for growth in western Canada, Astral Media in 2013 (for $3.4B) for media and ads exposure, and Ziply Fiber in 3Q25 for ~$5B, for a position in the northwest US telecom market. The company's headcount has been falling for years, from 55.3K in 4Q11 to 38.7K in 4Q25. BCE continues to seek out efficiencies in search of profitability growth. Automation and AI play a large role in their current strategic plan.

BCE is repositioning itself from a traditional telco towards an AI-focused infrastructure provider, in order to protect market share and support Canadian sovereignty against US hyperscalers. By establishing the Bell AI Fabric and deploying the North by Cohere platform, the company aims to turn internal automation R&D into a specialized revenue stream through its Ateko subsidiary. While a 31% increase in AI-powered solutions revenue suggests early enterprise interest, the long-term impact on margins depends on BCE's ability to apply these tools to its own legacy operations. A key factor to watch will be whether the company can successfully scale "Intent-Based autonomy beyond 5G pilots to meet its $1.5 billion cost-reduction mandate by 2028
