The After Show was broadcast live at the end of Day One of the TelecomTV Summit on AI and Automation. TelecomTV’s Guy Daniels and Ray Le Maistre were joined by panelists for this end-of-day question and answer session. Among the questions raised by our audience were:

• Are telcos in a position to do much more than the most basic automation?
• What do CSPs need to do to achieve self-driving networks?
• Do telcos have what it takes to offer NaaS?
• How should CSPs go about developing AI use cases?
• Where do Network as a Service and AI intersec; do you even need AI for NaaS?
