Keynotes

During this session, MetTel’s Brian Baird explored how operators could make AI accountable by controlling its inputs and considered the differing priorities of consumer and enterprise customers. Mavenir’s Bejoy Pankajakshan then addressed the vendor and technology perspective on AI-native transformation, while the TM Forum’s Joann O’Brien examined the race towards Level 4 autonomy, advocating a step-by-step approach focused on high-value scenarios, Open Digital Architecture and funding business outcomes rather than AI projects.
