AI-native networks represent a fundamental shift in how digital infrastructure is designed, operated, and optimised. As telcos respond to the rapid growth of AI-driven workloads, edge intelligence, IoT, and seamless multi-cloud to enterprise connectivity, networks must become more adaptive, autonomous, and intelligent. This evolution underpins the delivery of ultra-low latency, high-bandwidth, and secure services demanded by both consumers and enterprises.
 
In this transformed environment, AI is embedded across every layer - from routing and security to orchestration and lifecycle management-enabling intent-driven, self-configuring networks that can predict, prevent, and resolve issues before users are impacted. However, this shift also introduces critical challenges around scalability, trust, governance, and workforce readiness. This fireside conversation brings together expert perspectives on how telcos can successfully navigate the AI-native transformation journey and unlock its full potential with intelligent networks.
