Network Transformation: How AI is reshaping capacity, topology and operations

The surge in AI workloads—from training foundation models to powering real-time inference at the edge—is triggering a paradigm shift in how networks are architected, scaled, and managed. Legacy design assumptions are being challenged as operators grapple with exponential demand for bandwidth, ultra-low latency, and resilient, intelligent infrastructure. 

This session examines how AI is reshaping the entire network stack—from fibre and subsea to towers and core—and explores the role of AIOps, agentic AI, and next-gen network automation in building the infrastructure of tomorrow.
