Preparing telecom networks for agentic AI

During this AI-Native Telco Forum session, NGMN Alliance CEO Anita Döhler explored the operator-led work on agentic AI for autonomous networks, including the capabilities needed for a telecom-grade agentic harness and the risk of fragmentation across the industry. Blue Planet’s David Warnock then examined the importance of AI-ready data, while speakers from Wind River and Intel looked into the architecture required for autonomous operations and why AI inference at scale will increasingly move to the edge.
