12:00 - 12:25 - AI-Powered, zero-touch, end-to-end 5G slice lifecycle management
5G Dynamic Slice Management is a collaborative Innovation Hub project under TM Forum, demonstrating how network slicing can be delivered as a fully automated, intent‑driven digital service. Built on TM Forum’s Open Digital Architecture and aligned with the AI & Automation Blueprint and Autonomous Networks framework, the solution enables end‑to‑end, closed‑loop lifecycle management of 5G slices—from product creation and zero‑touch activation to real‑time assurance and autonomous optimisation. It shows how CSPs can simplify operations, reduce costs, and deliver differentiated, SLA‑driven connectivity services at scale across multi‑vendor environments.
