Session
AI is already changing how networks are operated, how traffic is generated and where infrastructure is built. But for network operators, the real question is not whether AI matters. It is where the value will move. This panel looks at AI from three angles: as an operational tool, as a new driver of traffic and infrastructure, and as a potential threat to the traditional role of the operator.
