About this Event
Networks are becoming too complex for humans to manage alone. As infrastructure spans fibre, radio, cloud, edge, and applications, the pressure on operators is mounting. Not just to deliver faster connectivity, but to manage energy consumption, contain costs, and maintain resilience at scale.
AI is increasingly being pulled into the heart of network operations, moving beyond simple automation into orchestration, energy optimisation, and real-time decision-making. The result is a shift towards what some are calling thinking infrastructure: networks that can adapt, predict, and self-correct. But how far should that go, and who stays in control?
This panel event will bring together voices from academia, telecoms, startups, and the investment community to explore what AI-driven networks look like in practice and where the real challenges lie.
We'll explore some of the most pressing questions at the intersection of AI and future networks, including:
- Why has AI become unavoidable in modern network management?
- Where has AI delivered genuine operational value, and where is it still just a pilot?
- How does energy change the equation: is AI the solution to network sustainability, or part of the problem?
- What happens when machines make critical network decisions and who's accountable when they get it wrong?
- How do legacy infrastructure and skills shortages shape what's possible?
Designed for startups, corporates, academics, investors, and industry practitioners, this session will offer informed perspectives, honest debate, and practical insight into how AI is reshaping the networks we all depend on, and what organisations need to be thinking about next.
